Before I get into it, you guys know, prize picks, the number one sports pick app in America.
There's no better app to fire on sports, and trust me, guys, I've tried every single app.
You guys know the drill by now.
All you got to do is go more or less on a few players, and that's it.
Also, guys, on prize picks, now you can just pick outright who's going to win the game,
and you can also fire on a ton of cultural events.
It's an absolute game changer for the app.
I can't believe that they added this.
Team picks are available in over 22 states, so if you're in a state that it's available,
should you try it out. If you guys have never tried out the prize picks app, we got you guys
on Code Nelk. If you plug that in and put in $5, you're going to get $50 for free. So now we
got player picks, team picks and culture events all in one app. Shout out to the Price Picks app,
best app to fire in sports in the game. Download it, use Code and Elk. Let's get into the
podcast. Price Picks offers DFS and free to play. $50 provided as Price Picks DFS lineups. Must
spend $5 of real money on prize picks before receiving bonus lineups.
Price picks predict is a registered FCFM offering team picks and culture picks as event contracts.

First pot of the new year.
What's your guys' new year's resolutions?
I'm doing dry of January.
I've been sober for two weeks.
It's been fucking...
That's a lie.
Wait, I swear we had this combo exactly last year.
In December.
Didn't we?
No, I'm taking it very seriously.
I am.
But you just drank, didn't you?
I saw you a booby trap.
That was in December.
Was it?
Yes, it was, dude.
It was in December.
But that's my New Year's resolution.
Salema, what do you got?
Yeah, I haven't been drinking too.
I've been sober.
I think what?
We're doing the challenge up until April.
I got a wedding on January 31st, so it's probably going to be a little wet then.
But just gym.
This year I want to post a lot.
Why don't you try to get to set a handicap goal?
I just want to get better.
Just keep getting better.
I mean, breaking 80 is what I want to do, huh?
Yeah, okay.
We got Nick Shirley pulling up.
He's been going viral.
You guys have been seeing his shit.
I didn't know about his stuff before.
I know you guys linked with him in Greenland.
Well, he was trying to help us get into the Seacot jail in Utah?
El Salvador.
Oh, shit.
Okay, so you guys...
We saw him in Greenland when we went there, too.
Yeah, so he's been grinding.
Yeah, it's good for him that it's fucking...
I don't know about this.
It's just his first, like, obviously it's his big.
biggest YouTube video but was like was this a YouTube video though or was it just IG content
there was a video yeah he went to all the learning centers or all the daycare centers
I don't know dude there's no kids yeah I know I've got super invested into it for like three
days and was just fascinated by the fact that they spelled learning center wrong there's no kids
and I just love the fact that that you can get like he's trying to do something actually
really good and he gets a ton of backlash from the other side it's just hilarious bro
like because they're missing out on the fact that this is a kid who is just grinding YouTube
and content he doesn't have any agenda he's not with any party he's just trying to expose
yeah and he's leaving it up to the people's yeah you know for them to decide and he's doing
something really great he's been on Fox News like five times he's going at it with the
potential but now no longer VP Tim Walts it's just like crazy getting this amount of
tension and people are just like Tim Walts's response
Did you see it?
The white supremacy comment?
Well, I guess he's just trying to appeal to his voting demographic,
which is probably a lot of immigrants there, right?
Yeah, but it's just such bullshit.
I think they just get advice and they're just like-
Look out for the taxpayer first.
Yeah.
Right?
That's why I didn't like that.
So what did you guys do on New Year's anything?
I didn't honestly do shit this year.
I didn't.
Stayed.
This was our first sober New Year's probably since I was like 16.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't remember the last time.
One thing I did see on New Year's,
I got to talk about this.
What?
Did you guys see Alex?
Alex Earle and Tom Brie?
I know that went viral.
You obviously saw it, but...
Yeah, complete setup.
I was just shocked to see that.
I think they set Tom up.
I don't think you get that...
I think so, too.
I told you that.
You don't get that camera.
No, I agreed with you.
I agreed with you right right.
They're calculated, bro.
I don't think they set them up.
Well, you're right.
They did set them up because you don't get super tough.
You just need the shot of them next to each other and that's it.
So what we mean by set up is Alex Earl said, yo, Tom's going to be there.
They were definitely flirting.
You know what I'm saying?
But I think Alex definitely had one of her girls snipe a little Snapchat video.
It was too perfect.
And then maybe they DM'd it to fucking TMZ off a fucking burner account.
Because she knows too.
It's like as a girl too, and it is the truth.
Dating a guy of status makes you so much more fucking popping.
Of course.
That's the name of the game, dude.
But I don't think you can get that good of a shot where she's touching his back whispering in his ear without having someone prepared.
Right.
Like there had to be someone and is a perfect angle.
And then you don't know where that
It was like a Scorsesey shot
If that account
If there was a girl that posted that
You'd be able to find her page
Which doesn't exist
It's just random accounts posting it
So she obviously sent it off to someone
I don't know if it's a good or bad look for Tom
Like I don't know how you guys feel
If that's a good for Tom or bad
I've seen both I mean what she's 25
And what Tom's what?
45 I mean it's Tom Brady
Let me do what he wants
I agree I mean if he's messing with him
I'm saying I'm wondering if he was okay with that
getting leaked her if he was. I think it would give him a lot of backlash, obviously, because she's
younger. Yeah. But, I mean, at the same time, it's like, dude, if you're a couple beers deep
in St. Barts and, like, Alex Earle's all over you. Yeah. I mean, at the end of the day, Tom's one of the
boys. Like, what would you do if Alex Earl was all over you in St. Barts after your fucking
eight beers deep? That scenario is so non-existent. I know, but it's like, I mean, at the end of
the day, he's one of the boys, right? So it's like, fuck. I mean. It's just crazy.
to see that shit. And I feel, I feel
it for Tom, Tom's the goat, so.
What do you do if you're the, her ex, Braxton?
Dude, see, that's the other thing is this,
it's evil up there. It's an evil world,
it is. Oh, it's just one guy
where it's like, dude,
your ex, you break up and she fucking
rebounds with Tom Brady.
Yeah, that's got a stuff. Like, you're just
fucked in every category.
It's a goat. Raxon could get,
probably get his get back. Oh, he's,
I mean, he's tearing it up.
Once you date a girl like Alex Earl or Madison
Beer,
Kylie Jenner, you're set for life in the pulling chicks category.
Yeah, for sure.
Like, look at like Zach Bia.
Yeah.
I mean, after he dated Madison Beer, it's like, sure, you lost her.
Probably, I mean, but after that, you're just, you're set.
It's like the girl.
I got after Kylie Jenner, too.
You hit after that, it's like, all right, you're good.
The girls are almost more attracted to the girl that you dated than they are.
They are.
That's what it is.
Well, because girls also want to be like their role models, right?
So, like, you know, if fucking...
Giselle might be Alex Earle's fucking role model.
Ah.
Giselle?
I don't think so.
I think Tom's just the man.
Well, that too.
Yeah.
That's one guy.
It's like, shit.
No matter how loyal your girl is to you or you think she is, I would not want my girl
spent in a week with Tom Brady.
Would you let him hit your girl?
No, fuck no.
Okay.
I wouldn't let him, but I mean, that's, that's, I mean, there's certain...
You would signy?
No, there's certain guys that it's like, no matter how loyal you think your girl is,
I would not prefer her to be around, you know?
Dude, imagine Braxton just trying to have...
If I had the choice, like, why would I prefer that?
No, but imagine it's 2026 January 1st.
He's all ready to lock in, and the first thing he sees is girl in that setting.
But you know what, it probably...
Weren't they teammates, too?
No, he played in Miami and Houston.
Oh, I don't think so.
Someone said they were teammates.
Maybe for a little bit.
Anyways, Shirley's here.
How we doing?
Yeah, yeah, you go hopping.
Thanks for having me.
Of course.
Were you in town or no I was in you did PBD though that was yeah I did PBD the other day
I just did Sean Ryan yesterday okay where's he at Nashville Nashville so you came here flew there yeah
and then um trying to say where I want to go tomorrow because I have some other stuff set up but
it's all up in the air right now damn so you've been on like a run since this yeah have you talked
about like your YouTube come up and stuff like that too because I feel like you've obviously
gained a lot of new fans with the the viral like exposing the fraud of Minnesota well yeah I've been doing
YouTube since I was a high school or since I was like 15 and then how old are you now 23 20 and so since
past two years I've uploaded every week for over 100 and over 104 weeks at this point and so every
week every week on the same day or no no no on the same day yeah just once a week that's still
huge accomplice that's the way to do it right yeah you have to especially in like the early phases to
build a consistency out and so now after all this happened it's been completely different because
now I have people doxing me coming after my family
I have a security guy with me right now
just because I pissed off a pretty bad group of people to piss off
Really? Well, it's millions of dollars
And primarily Somalians that are taking the money
What's the response man from the Somalians? Have any of them
hit you directly? Oh yeah, lots of death threats have came my way
And then I went back to Minnesota after I filmed it
And people were stopping at intersections coming after me
Security had to like step in front of them
Is it how many security you roll if you go to Minnesota? About four
four and why did you go back for part two okay because there's more fraud like the daycares
was just one part of the fraud what's the next fraud there's the transportation companies
there's millions of dollars being funneled through the airports that go back to somalia like there's a lot of
fraud did you expect this kind of like death threats and stuff like that too probably not right no
i can't really anticipate something like that no i just was posting my video like is my weekly
upload just like how when you guys do 100% yeah you're you kind of just getting the rhythm of posting and so
Did you think it would snap like that?
Or were you kind of just like...
Another week and I knew it was going to be a big video.
And then I was like planning my next week's video.
And then I go to the gym.
I post my video and I get on X and people are taking the clip.
I'm like, shoot, I got to go post my video on X.
And everyone was taking it before I could even post it.
So then I hurry and go back and post the video.
I get done with the gym.
And then it becomes the most viral video ever on X for an Ex-Bose-style video.
What made you look into the fraud in Minnesota?
I went there last June and the Minnesotans were telling me all about the fraud happening
and I said, well, I can't do anything.
I can't just paint the fraud happening on one group of people or I just can't say fraud's
happening without any evidence.
And so I just kind of kept looking into it.
And then this guy named David, he reached out to me and he said, I have all this information
from the Capitol with all the numbers and these daycares have absolutely no kids inside
of them.
Who was the first person that covered it that when it took off from either X or whatever
when it really went crazy?
Yeah, so people started picking it up, and then Elon, he engaged with it. And I think he retweeted it. And then later in the day, he commented on it. Then later in the day, he commented again on it, same prosecutor Tim Walts. And then after that, J.D. Vance retweeted it. Then the next morning I wake up, the cash Patel's talking about how the fraud's happening. And then Pam Bondi's talking about it. And then just quite literally everybody on the internet was talking about it. Like, it was impossible to it.
Here's what I want to know is because obviously the most viral part is they misspell a learning center.
How long did that place exist?
And are you surprised no one else fucking notices that they have a learning center?
Over eight years, right?
Yeah.
So that daycare has been in existence for eight years, has over 90 violations.
And then they moved it.
They moved in a business who's friends with Ion Omar, the business owner is.
There's photos of that.
And then they open up this daycare in the back of it.
They literally cut open a door.
the door wasn't there in 2021.
They cut open this door
and then they put up quality leering center.
And it just happened for years
and they received $1.9 million from the government
and they had received even more millions before that
and nobody said a word.
And that building is just a few blocks away
from the Timberwolves arena.
Did you see the guy's response to it outside the store
or outside the daycare?
Yeah, he's a complete clown.
At that same time,
the commissioner of children
is talking about how that daycare was closed a week ago.
And so now they're all show and face.
Like there's even been reports of daycare is paying kids upwards of $1,500 to go and put their kids in the daycare.
So are they all Somalian owned?
Yeah, so 89% of the fraud.
Is there like one white daycare that's like taking advantage of the fraud?
Or is it all Somalians?
Yeah, so there was like one of the ringleaders of it.
She was a white lady.
She got arrested.
However, 89% of the fraud being committed in Minnesota is by Somalians.
Dang.
How did the Somalians come up on this business?
what are Somalians known for
like stealing like boats and shit
yeah it's just got a Captain Phillips
Captain Phillips
it's a great movie
the best thing about this entire thing
and the clip the clip of the kid that
claims that they stole the documents
I don't know if you picked up on this
he's wearing chrome heart
prescription glasses
I actually was looking at those
they're $2,800
yeah so while he's talking about
how there's no fraud going on
this random kid is wearing like
the sickest craziest pair of glasses
I've ever seen and it's just like
I've seen a lot of people
and the worst network in the world, CNN, throw shade at you.
So what's their argument about that you didn't get all the information
or what are they trying to say because they're almost defending,
like the lives are defending the learning centers or saying that you're doing something wrong?
Yeah, they're defending fraud.
And if you watch any of their videos, the first thing they say is MAGA YouTuber,
right-wing journalists, conservative journalists,
they just can't accept the fact that fraud was happening
and they didn't get the story.
and so they're trying everything to do to debunk me and meanwhile they can't debunk me
Tim Walts just dropped out from re-election because he knows the fraud so extensive in his state
and he himself has been said he's been fighting fraud since 2019 all right it's insane who do you
think with all your research who do you think is the main person to hold accountable for this
happening I think the people inside the capital there and then obviously Tim Walts has said the buck
stops with me I mean he's enabled the fraud to keep happening like how long would it take for you
guys to notice someone from your one of your employees is stealing a million dollars well this
what he would notice the moment at laughing bro why don't it take you as like a regular person
expose this instead of tim waltz do you think yeah so i think it's been getting covered since
like 2017 people have been talking about the fraud but i think with how media is going now
people really can't engage or interact with some 50-year-old man and then they're there's the same
voice over every single time at a local news station and so
when you see somebody who's my age 23 years old teaming up with a local who's been doing his own
investigation it kind of like just hits and it relates more to people because they're able to see
it with their own eyes that was happening versus just we're out here today at quality learning center
and there's fraud happening but like i was going and interviewing the people showing that the fraud
was like so obvious that these people can even give you a brochure to enroll a child what's your
reaction to tim wall's dropping out that's got like that's that's got like that's
that's insane that you actually had something to do with that yeah i took out tim waltz like his
political career as of right now is over that is absurd when i saw him like officially drop out i was
like that is badass yeah i mean a lot of people tried and i guess i did it i don't want to say if
you're scared but is there some part of you that's like we're not regretful but like wow i didn't
expect it to get this scary and because now that when politicians that high up get involved
probably makes you a little nervous or just feel a type of way it is scary in the sense that
Like, they came after me.
They tried to debunk me, but they couldn't.
And so then they came after my family.
They docks my house.
Right now, I have security with my mom all at 24-7,
and I have to roll a security, and it's not what I wanted.
Oh, my God.
That's sad, bro.
And it's just because you expose fraud.
Like, isn't that something everyone should be celebrating?
On the ladder, is there anyone coming to support you that's, like,
trying to offer you more security or wants you to keep going and continue exposing these people?
Yeah, a lot of people have reached out, for instance,
named Officer Tatum, he actually started like, he has a security company, he has like a
nonprofit cyber people can donate. And so I have received donations that go like that I can only
use for security. So I have to use it. And so that's been great because security is not cheap.
Right. It's thousands of dollars a day. Yeah. And I don't make that much money as a YouTuber.
Yeah. There's probably a lot of people that are scrambling because they know that you're going to
continue doing these, right? Yeah, I have to. Like now everyone's telling me, like it's almost like
a mandate from the people that go expose more of this fraud.
What other states?
Obviously, California is really bad.
With in the same sense of daycares or other stuff.
They've been trying to build this train for years and they haven't even laid a track
from like L.A. to San Francisco or to L.A. to Las Vegas.
They haven't even laid a track.
Companies have received funding or?
Billions of dollars.
When did that start?
Newsom's been talking about it forever.
Like Newsom, like they say the fraud's bad in Minnesota.
Just wait until fraud starts getting exposed in California, New York.
like one of the things mandami ran on was giving more affordable child care to people and what do we know about the daycare centers now it's a great place to launder money any part of you hesitant to go to do this in california new york yeah well that's why i had to bring four security people with me when i went back to minnesota and uh i'm probably obviously like target enemy number one for these people right now so if they see me at these daycare centers or they see me at any of these other places yeah there's your photos up in every fucking fraud daycare center in the country oh yeah
enemy you just ended the best business for them ever like they've been living the life bro
you're probably like one or two kids in their week but they're buying chrome hearts glasses
and then you pull up looking for little joey look up for little joey just fucked their whole
shit up really did even they wouldn't even give joey the option for autism like the autism
center is like they were back in i think they were around 2017 or 2015 they're receiving like
a million dollars for autism medicaid well in 2024 they received 200 million dollars
for autism Medicaid.
I don't know how many people
are just starting to have inbreds
and have autism, but it's a lot.
What was the number that you came up with
off your research for the total amount
raised in Minnesota?
So within one day,
we estimated $110 million.
What in the fuck?
And what about like the total?
The guy in my video, David,
he estimates it's around
anywhere from 80 to 100 billion.
The government right now is saying
anywhere upwards of $9 billion.
And the crazy thing is that this money, so they receive it, and it's called CCAP funding,
and it's federal and state money, and so these people receive the money, it's tax-exempt,
and then there's the rumors of it going back in the hands of al-Shabaab, the terrorist organization in Somalia.
And so they then get that money, they take it through the airports.
There's a video from 2017 of Fox News covering millions of dollars going through TSA, millions of dollars in cash.
and so what they do is they then go to Atlanta and then they go to Dubai and then from Dubai they can then send that money tax free without getting traced in Dubai to Somalia or anywhere they'd like
dude my initial thought is that you would think that and this is why it gets scary I know you're already freaked out so this isn't going to freak you out but this being Minnesota being Tim Walts's state and being liberal there you would think that some of the other creators or just political people are
on the right would also be trying to do this,
trying to expose it at the level you are.
And it doesn't seem like, you know,
you're just a 23-year-old YouTuber.
Why do you think other people
that are actually in political positions
aren't trying to do the same thing?
Yeah, what you're seeing is, like,
actual change being created from journalism.
And it's not because I sat behind a desk
and talked about it.
It's because I actually went and showed people
what was happening.
And so a lot of the people in the conservative sphere of things,
and even on the left,
they just kind of sit behind a desk.
And they don't really actually go out
and show what's happening.
one, because it's a lot harder. And two, it's also a lot riskier. And so that's why you saw
within hours of me releasing that video, the feds launched investigations within just a few days.
They froze over $185 million of child care funding. And now they just released that they're
I think they're freezing all like child care funding across all 50 states, especially
especially in the Democrat states. I know that. And so what I did, I could have just saved America
billions of dollars. And none of these companies, since they've been given the opportunity to
prove they're legit before they receive their funding, so far not a single company has sent
in any proof of legitimacy to receive their funding. It's crazy to think that Walls would
have potentially been the vice president, right? Yeah, that's like the funniest thing to read on
next. They're like, it took a 23-year-old YouTuber to take down somebody who was this close
becoming the vice president well i think a lot of american taxpayers are probably pretty happy
and supporting you and nowadays it feels like every everyone's looking for that person to like be the
forefront of what they believe in like you have just creators online on x especially uh who everyone's
buying into their stuff have you kind of been that guy because i've seen a lot of people i think you
said this on pbd you don't have any vices you're sober you're virgin what's the other thing
religious yeah but you seem like the perfect personality for people to buy into or to go after
yeah i mean you've seen him go after me but yeah i'm not the worst person to follow behind i feel
like i live my life in a pretty morally correct way i i try not to get too involved with anything
um like i said i don't drink don't smoke not out here having sex with random girls i'm a virgin
and uh go to church and uh i can still have fun living my lifestyle like we've we've hung out before in
Greenland. We've done stuff. It doesn't hinder me from anything. If anything, it gives me
more opportunities because I'm always kind of like locked in in a way where I don't have like the
crazy distractions. Like yes, do I get distracted? But do I get a distraction where I'm not able to wake up
in the morning and function at up 100%? No. I just see a lot of things on and the internet's crazy,
but people are like, this is going to be the next Charlie Kirk turning point. How do you feel when people
kind of make those comparisons? I think what they did was different. And I, I'm my own person in a way.
So, like, I think people like Charlie and, like, they kind of curve the path for what was happening.
And I'm not trying to be Charlie by any means.
I'm just trying to be Nick Shirley and just kind of do what kind of comes.
Because it's kind of hard to, like, say, like, where you'll be in five years or exactly where you want to be.
But I'm just kind of going with where things are taking me right now.
Yeah.
What about Trump?
You have any communication with the president?
No, I haven't heard anything from Trump.
Don Jr. I went on his show.
uh but trump's been talking about it but um caroline levitt shouted you out i saw yeah caroline levitt she shouted me out
she's really cool and so the government's obviously obviously super happy with it because i mean a lot
of times they're looking just like with doge Elon was doing it for so long and they came after him
but they couldn't really like show people with their eyes what was happening they're kind of
some more show showing the contracts and so people are excited to see like somebody doing in an
in an unconventional way to expose government corruption.
Dude, you seem like you haven't slept in a while.
Yeah, this past week every day I try to sleep for a few hours
and it doesn't really happen.
Just really, no way, in anxiety?
Like, every day there's something going on, like this past week,
every time I'd get on X or something,
someone's trying to debunk me.
And I'm, like, getting back on there.
I'm just, like, throwing punches at him on X, getting, fighting it back.
And when you have, like, the momentum,
you kind of just had to keep going.
So, like, yesterday I was in Nashville,
the day before that i was in florida today i'm be here tomorrow i'll be somewhere else and so
it's kind of like when you get this responsibility you kind of just have to go with yeah what people
were docks in your mom's address well they did yes and for what reason that's yeah and who do you
think's doing that crazy extremist and they ended we got we got taken down but yeah these people
come after you and just for exposing fraud and they'll call you a racist Islamophob
call you anything just to try to get people to i mean tim waltz called me far right a white supremacist
delusional conspiracy theorist and it's just like they're trying to set you up for something so
somebody can then go in and justify whatever they try to do you got to have some sort of you got
to be proud of yourself i mean it's fucking crazy that you're a 23 year old YouTuber is removing
what he stepped down right yeah he's not going to run for reelection and you'd say you're that's probably
from your influence 100% yeah 100% yeah what's your reaction you're not are you shocked by that
or you like and what's up with tim walls like what like there's something with him right like he looks
like googly-eyed or something yeah i don't know when he when they when he was running with kamala
just like seemed a little off to me he's definitely a little off in the i was happy when i saw it
and so was the rest of the internet because i mean this this guy has sold out his state to
somalia look at the state flag it's no longer this the flag of minnesota it's quite literally been
transformed to be more like the flag of Somalia.
So he's actually not serving the people of Minnesota.
He's serving a small majority of group because he knows he can go and get votes.
Inside of Minnesota, one voter can then vouch for eight people on the day of voting.
So that means like if we're all sitting here, Stiney, you're a legal citizen and we got all these
other people in this room.
You can go and vouch on behalf of eight other people and take their ballots to the voting booth.
What?
Yeah.
That people are not citizens?
You can't really justify whether they are or not.
Wait, explain that again.
That's crazy.
So say Stiney is a legal citizen resident of Minnesota.
They're about to go vote for their new governor.
And on that day, he's inside his apartment complex.
There's eight other people, and they all say they'll go vote for Tim Walts.
Well, Steinie can then go to the voting booth and vouch on behalf of eight people.
And whether he can prove their citizens or not, those votes get counted.
And so that's been exposed as well with this.
Do you know that what's the Somalian population in Minnesota?
Some people say 80.
Other people say 100,000, 200,000.
There's a lot.
I wonder why they chose Minnesota.
I think it was so fucking cold.
So cold.
Yeah, I've never been there.
Yeah, and I think it's cold.
I went there for the Super Bowl once.
It's fucking cold.
And I'm from Toronto.
Really?
It's nip.
I don't know.
Maybe that's why they went there because it'd be under the radar.
True.
I'm under the radar. Minnesota's known for being super nice people accepting.
And at the end of the day, I don't think those people were meant to be there forever.
And now they all have their kids there and they're there.
You've gone to a lot of crazy countries, though, too, right?
You went to El Salvador for the jail.
Would you ever pull up to Somalia for a video or no?
I don't know about that.
Sleam, you coming with me?
I mean, I can have her back.
That'll be it open, but yeah, I don't advise you to go there.
after. No, yeah, I don't think I'm planning to go into Somalia anytime soon. What'd be a crazy
video? That would be crazy. Nope. No, no full send to go to Somalia. We're doing out. I'd be down.
I'd be down if there was a way. Maybe not with you, honestly, but I don't think they'd let you
in. No, they probably wouldn't. The crazy thing about the fraud is that allegedly $9 billion,
their GDP of Somalia is $12 billion. So we've pretty much replaced that whole entire country.
That's insane. Wow. And has Ilhan Omar said anything about this or no?
She has not defended it or anything.
She has not said a word.
Her last post was December 24th.
I posted the video on December 26th.
She has not said a word.
And she's Somalian, right?
She's Somali.
She was born in Somalia.
Oh, she was.
But she became a U.S. citizen?
Yes.
What's up with her?
Like, Trump said she married her cousin or something?
Yes, she married her brother to let him get citizenship.
And there's legal proof of that.
Really?
I find it interesting.
A lot of these, uh,
podcasters, political podcasters, a lot of them have not really talked about the situation.
I don't know if you've noticed that, but a lot of people that cover...
Right wing or left wing? Both.
Every right wing podcast has talked about it, now?
Yeah, I think so for the most part. The left, though, like, the left is so stupid because
in one week they had to defend fraud, and then the next day they had to defend a dictator.
Like, what they're standing for at this point in time, it's almost impossible to get behind.
They're standing for fraud, and they're backing like a dictator.
That just shows every...
That whole situation was interesting, too, yeah.
Bro, I thought I personally, it's, like, it is pretty funny.
And especially the fact that, like, the photo of him and the Nike Tech.
Epic.
He looked pretty sauce.
Yeah.
He went out with swag.
He went out with swag.
And then you look at the people in Venezuela celebrating.
Everyone is ecstatic that this guy's finally gone.
And then you look at the protests going on in New York, and it's not, there's no Venezuelans there.
It's like any reason people have to go against.
Trump, they're there to smart.
I don't know if you tweeted this out, but there's the same people that are protesting this
are the same people that were at the No King's protest too.
Yeah, there's, that's just crazy.
I just don't understand.
Like, there's a group here inside America right now, whether Trump drops a murder rate
or Trump stops fentanyl or Trump gets rid of fraud, they're going to say he's in the
wrong, just because they simply do not support Trump.
and by then doing that
they also don't support the best interest of America
which is crazy
like it's just some super simple
common sense stuff
and so like in my videos I just try to present stuff
as they really are
and with common sense
that's why my video hits so hard
because I wasn't taking a political side
I was just showing what was happening
that's what you know what you should do
you should go to Venezuela
you do a good job of that not because some people
will like right wing people will do it
and you know they'll get a lot of support from the right
but you could tell they have a bit of an agenda
I think with yours, you're doing a good job of, like, staying a little neutral in the videos, which I think is good and important.
This is where it's like, now people might look to people like you, like going to Venezuela and talking to people in the streets and seeing.
I'd love to go to Venezuela.
Do you have any better to go?
Yeah, let's go.
I'm down to pull up.
I want to go so bad.
Somalia, fuck that.
But Venezuela would be lit.
Yeah.
Was there a specific moment you realize this is what you want to be doing?
Well, I've been doing YouTube since I was 15.
I kind of knew that's, like, always what I wanted to do.
It's always been in politics.
Like, I don't know if you guys remember, but, or you guys remember when back in like 2020, I was still like 18 years old, but I remember I started to kind of get more into politics, but you couldn't put Trump's name in a thumbnail or in a title without it getting demonetized.
Then I was able to finally make political content and it just kind of because of X, like if Elon didn't buy X, people like to bash on Elon, but if Elon didn't buy X, it'd be very unlikely that Trump was elected.
We wouldn't have free speech.
and you'd see just more and more corruption.
I agree.
I think that's the one thing that came out of, yeah, Elon and also this election,
you could say whatever you want about the Trump administration too,
but like the free speech one, I know firsthand,
it's way different than when he was not in office.
Yeah.
Like, it's completely different.
Because it leveled out the playing field,
because if all these other companies want to be able to get the amount of views,
they have to unlock their censorship and play on the same playing field.
Elon kind of like, with his chess move, he forced all those other platforms, YouTube, Instagram, a lot.
Instagram and meta is way different.
You can like see dead people on your...
You could post whatever the fuck on Instagram.
We used to post on Instagram.
We used to get taken down all the time.
I can't remember the last time like a post has gotten taken down off Instagram.
During COVID, everything was getting taken down on Instagram.
Yeah, so you're right.
Elon did, I mean, yeah, what he did for free speech was insane.
Yeah, and people like to attack.
Elon, I'm like, dude, he's been the biggest net positive for society in so many ways.
It's crazy.
Yeah, you can see literally anything on X.
It is.
I go down some rabbit holes that I wish I didn't go down.
Uh-oh, Stony.
Yeah.
What kind of rabbit holes you get into?
Fight comps.
I've seen some crazy shit.
I don't want to talk about.
Gay porn.
No, no.
That's not on my algorithm.
I promise you.
That is not on my album.
Anything else, Tiny?
You could just see deaths on there.
Like, I'm fucking in schooling the other day and this guy walks behind.
a helicopter blade and his head gets fucking chopped off and then it's one of those things where
I saw it so I descended to like five people because I wanted them to go through what I just had
to go through you know what I mean so do you map out now do you map out which state you're going to
go after next or how do you how does that process work yeah so now everyone's like been telling me
you got to go to California or you got to go to Ohio and so now now since I have like everyone's
eyes watching me especially on what's going to happen next I have to make sure I have all the
proof and the receipts when I go.
And because that's the problem now.
So you're seeing like all these other people go up to these daycares.
I'm like, well, I did my due diligence before I went.
Like you just don't go up to a daycare.
They're just going to get kids and trolling, right?
Yeah, they, yeah, like a lot of copycats kind of do that.
And like there's some people who I know who will take whatever I do because I've been doing
this for a while.
So they'll take whatever I do.
And then like two weeks later, they'll get on to that topic.
And then I'll move to the next one to get on to that same topic.
And, like, it's fine, whatever.
That's what's going to happen, right?
got they're actually going to do more harm without the numbers and the facts exactly
positive which is going to probably be an issue exactly so i mean like people people can do what
they want i'm not telling anyone not to but like if you're going to do it make sure you do your
due diligence so you think california's next yeah i think there's like so you could spend like
a whole year inside california exposing fraud 24 billion dollars went missing to homeless
that train that they try to build
that they've been trying to build forever
I mean the NGOs there
like it's crazy
that is one of the biggest questions
and I always wonder this
you have California
I think it's a
I think it is the highest state income tax
maybe in the country
it's not New York
and then you have Florida
no state income tax
Florida has way less problems than California
so you're everyone's wondering
yo where are my tax dollars going
I think that's the biggest question.
I think about it all the time, you know, and the streets are getting worse and worse.
San Francisco's gone to complete shit.
His L.A. is scary, too.
Like, even if you live in a house.
San Diego is bad.
If you live in a house in L.A.?
Yeah, the carmary's crazy.
Like, home invasions are fucking crazy.
I know another influencer.
I won't say his name too, but he's really big.
And he got, his house got broken into in L.A. too.
And like, it's scary, right?
It is scary.
So I think a lot of people want to see you go to California.
What do you think besides the train is the biggest fraud happening there?
I just think the homelessness, like $24 billion, and Elon said it on Joe Rogan,
like these organizations are incentivized to keep the homelessness going
because as soon as they solve the problem, there goes all their clientele.
Oh my God.
Like homeless shelters and stuff?
Homeless shelters.
I mean, they literally give you all the paraphernalia you need to do the drugs on the streets of San
Francisco and L.A.
like they didn't out and then on top of that they'll give you the narcan to revive yourself so they'll
provide you with anything but the hard drug but then they'll give you the tools to kill yourself
and then the tool to bring you back to life that's like Canada too they do that in Vancouver
oh Vancouver's the worst that what's the street called Hastings or something yeah East Hastings
Street it's a dump very bad we went when we went to Morgan Juan and San Diego you see the guys
that are in like the fentanyl positions where they're like literally bent over and they
can't move you know what i'm talking about yeah the fettie fold the fettie fold the fettifold
is so popular in san diego what's the fettifold have you never seen anybody on the fettifold
no we saw it they're like it's like it's like their bodies are like stuck oh shit it's like a
zombie five state one half of their bodies like like limped or something yeah yeah you shouldn't be
able to be that flexible but the fend that gives it to you yeah i just totally they're totally
just like in a zomified state and they can't move and then you like what's interesting is you'll go
and tap them on the shoulder
and they'll sprawl right back up
and they'll just act like
you're having a normal conversation with them.
Like when we were younger,
the homeless people,
it was like, you see them,
you give them $10,
make sure they get food.
Now it's like the homeless people
aren't really even begging for money.
They're just going around
doing whatever they can
to get the next hit.
Yeah.
Have left wing programs offered to have you on
like big news stations,
like CNN and stuff or no?
No, I mean,
they did a hit piece on me.
And these people,
they call me far,
right they call me a fascist they call me nazi they call me mag influencer just because i'm showing people
the truth and it's like these they don't really have any credit like i don't really have credit for
people who call me a nazi i saw the post i commented on the post on cnn had your back thank you
but a lot of people athletes and a lot of powerful people were commenting to your aid so it was pretty
cool to see but i saw that did she just catch you on the street i don't know her name yeah
I don't know her name either.
Well, she was at the Learing Center, and so was I went back.
And, yeah, she tried to act like if I was, did something wrong.
And I stood on business with my interview with her.
And she's like, are you 100% certain?
I'm like, yes, I'm sure.
And, and then she, the next clip is them talking.
We called seven of the daycares in Nick's video.
And one of them answered and said they're a legitimate business.
It's like, okay, great investigative reporting CNN.
None of these learning centers showed any sort of documentation.
Well, they have the documentation of them receiving the money.
Yeah.
And they have it on their state website.
In fact, after I posted the video, the licensing website for the state shut down.
Dude, this is scary stuff.
Yeah, it's wild.
There's a lot of fraud going on.
If you had a guess, where do you think, let's just take the example of the homeless in California.
Where do you think the unaccounted $24 billion is?
I mean, Gavin Newsom bought a $9 million mansion in San Francisco.
Not saying all that money went to him, but they give these money to these organizations.
A mayor in California.
He's a 90-mill mansion?
A 9 million.
Nine million.
Yeah, in the Bay Area.
It's fat.
How does a governor make that much money, unless he comes from money?
But still, that's a lot of money.
A mayor in California told me that a lot of these people will tell their family members or tell
their friends to go start these NGO, these nonprofits.
And then from there, they can receive a grant or they can receive funding from the government.
And then when it comes time for a campaign, all that money's already been given to them.
They can just funnel it back into the hands of the campaign.
Like a lot of the daycare centers in Minnesota, they had been caught for giving money to political campaigns as well.
Like that Omar guy who was running for mayor of Minneapolis, his in-law, one of his family members owned one of the daycare centers I went to.
Oh, really?
Yeah, and I think he was even operating his campaign out of the daycare.
What's your biggest takeaway or your biggest learning moment from all?
of this. There's a lot of corruption happening in the United States. And people like us and just
average American are working so hard to pay taxes. Like all of us work three to four months
just to make a dollar actually here in the United States. And when you see corruption happening,
like it's estimated that three to seven percent of all taxes go towards fraud. Like, why are we
paying our taxes for? And so I was super happy to see them freeze the funding for these daycare
facilities because then it gave the daycares an opportunity to show that they're legitimate
legitimate businesses and that's kind of what they should do they should freeze all funding for all
these welfare programs and just do like a one week reset and say all right we're going to give
everybody the opportunity to prove they're legit if you can't prove you're legit in a week or sorry
you're going to have to learn how to run a profitable business has there been any action from
like anybody on stopping this now after your findings they just sent over 2,000 more investigators
to Minnesota.
They launched more investigations, and like I said,
they just froze all the funding.
That's crazy that you had to be the one to do that.
That's the one I'm saying.
They don't need 2,000 investigators.
They need you.
I don't know.
They need like 1,000 of me.
Yeah, that's it.
Who sent them to government?
HSI, Homeland Security,
and then the FBI as well,
and I think the DOJ.
Do they come to you to get information?
I think just for my video alone,
it kind of proved enough.
And they were already doing some of their own investigations,
but now it's like, all right,
you guys have the opportunity to really show America like you're going to do what you're going to say you're going to do like you better show up and you better start people want to see arrest happen like can you imagine if tim waltz gets arrested and gets put to jail for the fraud do you think he knew what was going on yes he openly oh really or is he just stupid enough to just not even know
selim just woke up yeah you like you think this like he's seeing this going on just letting it happen like this whole time yes that's fine since 2019 he said because he had all the simoleans
support right yes you think he could be dumb enough to not even know though yeah that too you
know well he seems like an easy guy to get like get one by it looks like a clown how the fuck does
a learning center just playing devil's avid it exists existed for eight years with incorrect spelling
of learning right how the fuck is that possible yeah exactly it's he just doesn't seem like he knows
what's going on though too you can't be enough he's different and see a learning like i think you could
be at his dinner table like having dinner with him and like you'd be banging his daughter and he
wouldn't know. Like, he's like that type of guy.
Like, he's, you're going to hit him while it's down like that.
He's clueless. Like, he's just not, he's oblivious, is what I'm saying.
I don't know. That's just what it seems like.
Yeah, that's probably why he's like the perfect candidate.
Yeah. And, uh, I mean, since 2019, like the Somalians are like, this guy's easy fucking
pick us. Oh, like what state do we got to go to to pull this off? Oh, this
fucker. Yeah, we're going to Minnesota. It's cold, but he's an idiot. Yeah.
Scooly. Just playing devil's advocate. I don't know. 100%. And you know what's
interesting about Tim Waltz?
Why do you think Kamala Harris chose Tim Walts?
Nobody knew who he was before.
Why?
That is interesting.
The first day he's chosen, he raises the most amount of money than any other candidate in history.
I think it's over $35 million he raised for the campaign within just a day of being selected to become the vice president.
And now we know all this fraud's happening.
How did Tim Walts?
He used to be a high school football coach.
He's not even from Minnesota.
He's from Nebraska.
How is he able to raise the most amount of money?
that's great do you think the Somalians were
funding it 100%
it had to be some sort of fraud
I wonder what Walls was like as a football coach
do you know how much he raised I think it was around
35 million
what do you think he was like as a football coach
you think he's a good coach or no no I don't think so
he doesn't have that grit
what do you think he coached like defense coordinator
or something? I think he was like special teams
special teams kickoff
they have a starting
quarterbacks from Somalia
maybe yeah five-star recruits put him on receiver man you imagine tim waltz i mean he's him he probably
seems like a nice happy go-loving guy he's shaking his hands everywhere he's probably like a good
hype coach get everyone feeling good get making sure everyone gets their playing time that probably
aren't winning too many games do you find it interesting when their initial response did he call
you a white supremacist or yes he called me a white supremacist and then it was so funny because
every time he'd post i would just go and race you on
right underneath it yeah and uh and then i then there's this lady who died who got assassinated and
she was the only lady inside of the democrat party who voted against giving money to illegal migrants
i'm not saying tim waltz killed her but she was then assassinated and she was then assassinated
because she voted to stop funding for a legal migrant after the voting i think within just a few days
no fucking way and what was the official reason for her death the guy was a tim waltz appointee who
even said in a letter, I think that Tim Waltz, that he worked for Tim Waltz. And I don't want to say
stuff I don't 100% know on this because I haven't read all this guy's letters, but super fishy.
And so Trump posted this video on true social saying like kind of like the conspiracy behind it
or the logic or why people think that she got offed. And then I commented underneath it.
I said, why was she the only, why was it after she voted after illegal, she was.
killed rest in peace to melissa hortman and so then tim waltz post about it and he actually replied to
you right replied to it i double ratio him after that did they say it was on the reply and on the court
of tweet did they claim it was suicide or no she got assassinated damn he had a bad social media
advisor yeah and so he probably had some kids sitting beside him like oh you got to reply to shirley and
shit yeah you just cooked his ass cooked him and then when he when he dropped his ad bid it was so funny too
I told him quality leering centers hiring.
Oh my God.
And it got like 100,000 likes.
And his like, the announcement got like 30,000.
Did you see any tampons in the bathrooms there or no in the men's bathrooms?
At the airports.
No.
Have you been to the Seattle airport?
No.
There's tampons in the men's bathrooms.
You can click the button and you'll get a tampon.
In the men's bathroom.
Yes.
That's fucking crazy.
Like everyone knows Tim's a tampon lover.
Yeah.
He'll give everybody a tampon if they want it.
Have any other, uh,
left politicians
come at you on X or anything
Oh they all did
Like they all started
Like Hassan Piker
He's
Of course
Yeah he was angry
I'm like ha ha
That guy's a fucking loser
Straight up
I'm like ha ha
You would support fraud
Like you're so dumb
What's next do you think
Obviously there's a lot more fraud
In California
I do want to go to Venezuela
I think you have to
And you gotta go talk to
Do you have an in there?
It's probably
What do you think it's like there right now
Probably pretty liberated
They feel
I mean
There was like parades and stuff, right?
Parades, people are happy.
They took down the statues.
I speak Spanish fluently, so I think I should go.
I don't know how dangerous it would be.
Now Trump's talking about taking over Colombia and so I might make it.
Things a little interesting.
If you haven't in, I'm down to roll with you.
We could run it.
I'd run Venezuela.
I mean, we got to make sure we're, there's a way to go to every country, you know.
Yeah.
You just got to make sure you're good.
You could make a few phone calls, maybe, see what we can do.
Make phone calls.
And the people in Venezuela, they're very nice.
people steiny there's some good looking woman out there no i'm 100% yeah i'm down south america
has the most if i haven't seen a white green going a long time too you're probably right i'm in
for that video for sure what do you guys got planned i've been training for this 100 miles stream
so we're doing that january 21st you guys were in hawaii yeah we're in hawaii doing a marathon
so yeah we're probably going to do a lot of international shit this year too hey guys got to get
back to them at least the monthly uploads yeah we've been on every month but
Some months you guys are missing, though.
I know, I know.
We got to get back to it, you're right?
You want to expose fraud, but do you have a certain goal or something like an ultimate video that you want to complete now?
Yeah, there's a lot of videos I want to do.
And now it's getting kind of more dangerous to kind of be out there.
It's like also who do I want to interview?
So I'd really like to interview Naibu Kelly.
I think Trump would obviously be awesome.
Elon, he'd be awesome to interview.
And there's just a lot of cool people all across the world, like, that are doing a lot of cool things that I'd like to interview people about.
I wonder if Newsom would be willing to talk to you, a link with you.
Even if he did, he would tell you straight up lies, just like he told Charlie Kirk about, for instance, the trans stuff.
He said something, and then he does the complete opposite.
Like, Newsom's like, such a slimy guy.
That's why he's so, it's so dangerous.
Yeah, he's a good, he's a good bullshitter.
Oh, and he's such a, like, you just can't trust anything he says.
Yeah, it sounds good for a sec, and then it's like, fuck.
Yeah, and if you look at the Democrats, it's very.
interesting. So if you look at like, for instance, when they go on a podcast, you'll notice that
there really aren't that many people that click on the video. And then if you see somebody like
Trump or if you see somebody else going on a podcast, a lot of people click on that video. And so
like a lot of this hype that you see on the internet of these Democrats or what people say,
it's actually not true just off the numbers of the views they get. Because they don't have much
of a base around them right now. And this is a problem. I think the country just has in general.
I actually texted someone who I used to be good friends with who doesn't talk to me.
anymore because of my political beliefs, but I asked him about you just to see like if you've
persuade people maybe from the left and maybe open some people's eyes. And it's just become
such a thing that there's so much pride and he started to throw shade. And I was like, how can you
not show some support for this kid who's trying to do the good for the country? But that's what
I'm trying to ask you is, has anybody from the other side come to you and been like, hey, thank you
for exposing this or, wow, this is a reason to maybe change my beliefs? You think it would be.
No, they've all doubled downed and they're literally supporting fraud like how stupid you have to be to support fraud? Like it makes no sense. That's what you would think as a taxpayer seeing your money go to something like this you'd be able to put away political bullshit and just be like, wait, there is a serious problem out there with your intention what you're doing the fact that they don't even believe it's happening still. They're like denying it. Have people told you have people had that excuse that this isn't true? Have you seen TikTok or have you seen like all the mainstream media like?
literally the whole entire internet was people trying to debunk me and I'm like you
can't debunk me your governor just dropped out of re-election because he knows it's true
how can more people see that happen and not start to think there's something
going on here like TDS and people talk about Trump the arrangement syndrome
it's very very real yeah like Trump could do the most amazing thing he could like the
murder rates down exponentially this year people aren't happy that he's been national
You've already did with Washington and stuff.
It's like, it's common sense.
Yeah.
I mean, there's entire neighborhoods inside Chicago where it's almost very similar to
favela in Brazil where you have little militias roaming and control in the place.
You should go to Brazil.
We've been.
Yeah.
You guys done the favela video?
That's the craziest place I ever do a video there.
Oh, I almost died in the top of the favela.
That was a crazy thing I've ever seen or done.
Well, you pissed out the wrong person or?
Well, I interviewed a soldier.
He went without permission from the boss, and I interviewed the soldier, and he took me up to the top of the favela.
He said, he was so dangerous they kept him up in the top because he couldn't go down.
And he takes me to the top of this abandoned house.
I get down there, he has his gun, he has his other soldier with him, and I interview him.
And then after they're like, all right, the translator is like, all right, they want this much.
I'm like, whatever they say.
Like, let's get out of here.
Yeah.
And then after that video, that soldier then gets beat up by the boss of the favela,
kicked out of the favela.
The two translators almost nearly die because we pissed off the favela gang.
And I pissed off like the biggest favela in Brazil and the biggest gang,
like Hosenia, which is the largest favela in all of Brazil.
And I somehow got to the top of the favela with one of the soldiers and interviewed him.
I'm like I thought that that was the close ever came to death probably
what did you to piss them all well then I posted my YouTube video
and I just kind of showed what life was like in the favela
and other YouTubers I'd done it so I thought it'd be totally chill
and that's like they I kind of showed how what's happening inside the favela
and it's literally just like the movies like at 15 year olds roaming around with guns
I went to a favela party at like 12 at night for that one
and all these like armed soldiers
It looks like a bunch of Salim's just walking around.
It looks like a bunch of those.
Well, he looks like kind of like a little bit Brazilian.
If I dyed my hair, I think everyone would think I'm Brazilian.
Oh, like blonde.
Yeah.
But I do have the same skin tone as a lot of Brazilian.
Yeah, so they all have these huge guns.
They got these like, these Latina girls going around, dance, and twerking up on him.
I love Brazil, man.
Any Gabe's there or no?
There are, oh, you Gabe's Brazilian too, huh?
Yeah, there's some Gables in there.
Ha ha.
And, uh, but like, there's just drug.
like the table, there's like a table just like this in the middle of the favela party with like
speakers up to the ceiling and they're just like every drug you can imagine they're just like a 15
year old deal in it. Wow. It was insane. You seem pretty fearless, bro. I would say so. I don't get
like too nervous about things. Now it's kind of more nerve-wracking because more people know my face.
But I don't feel like I'm doing anything wrong. I think a lot of people would agree what you're doing
is great. Politics are a scary thing, dude. I kind of understood why so many
like why Trump and Elon are always out there defending themselves
because you just can't let people slander your name
like they try to do with me.
And so you're just like standing up like you wake up in the morning
and you're like, all right, who are we going to war with today?
And you just have to respond back and debunk them all
because you just can't let people spread lies.
Have you thought about doing any of like the going to talking
to like the youth or like college campuses
and trying to educate next generation or anything like that?
I'm not really a debater.
like I can talk with people
but the thing is now with debates
a lot of people won't even hear you out
I mean I just expose fraud
in a way where people could see it with their own eyes
and it somehow became debatable
so a lot of these people
won't even rationalize with you
yeah they're just going to believe
what they want to believe no matter what
you just kind of seem like the picture perfect
with what you said about religion
being sober that
a lot of people would want to buy into what you're talking about
and you could have a lot of influence
with what you believe in
Yeah, I mean, I could go do them.
Like, I'm not against doing them.
But I think, like, what I'm doing right now is probably a little bit more important
where people can really, it really change people's minds versus, like, a debate.
That's what I'm saying.
Do you feel like you've taken on a lot more responsibility now?
Yeah.
Like, this week alone, I gained over a million followers on X, a million and a half on Instagram.
Wow.
And so, like, X is super hard to hit a million followers on.
and I think now
what does that feel like
to like have been putting in work for so long
to like kind of get this
type of viral hit?
It feels good
but it doesn't feel that strange
because you kind of
you've been kind of living it for so long
if I had just posted my second video
and that would have happened
I wouldn't know how to control it
if that makes sense.
No, I'd say that all the time too
the people that blow up overnight
they don't know how to handle it right?
No.
And so like like I said
Like, that's the most viral video by anybody whose name, whose name is not Mr. Beast
in a documentary expose style video ever on the internet.
Yeah, do you know what was the amount of views on X that it got?
The video alone got over 135 million.
Wow.
The one that you directly posted or someone clipping it?
That I directly posted.
And on top of that, there's probably another 500 million or even upwards of a billion.
It's insane.
How long was the video on X?
42 minutes.
Wow.
Dude, what are your, you're 23 years old.
What are your parents feel about all this?
My mom, she films, my mom filmed that video.
Like, my mom comes with me on a lot of my trips.
Really?
Yeah.
Like, my mom's the best.
Like, I'll bring her with me.
She kind of, like, helps produce.
And so my parents are stoked about everything.
I have, like, other family members who aren't as stoked.
Because now, like, my little sister, she starts getting calls from the news,
trying to get information about me.
I'm like, okay, like, stay out of here.
Don't be good shot at my sister.
Yeah.
And so I didn't ever want my, like I always kept my dad a secret.
Like I never showed who he was or anything like that.
And then you get the Hindu news from India saying who your dad is.
Like my dad's the best guy I know.
I have nothing to hide.
Damn.
Like it's crazy how, like I kind of saw firsthand how there's like legit a whole industry that will come and try to slander you.
But like I said, because I can't have a clean slate, they really can't get me for anything.
Like what are they going to get me for a prank I did in high school?
Well, you're from Utah too, right?
Yeah.
So it's Mormon out there.
Yeah.
Like, I'm a member of the church.
It seemed like you had a pretty clean slate.
You never been in trouble ever?
I got a misdemeanor once for doing a bike jump on fire.
And, like, so I got a misdemeanor once for that.
That was pretty funny.
But other than that, I, like, did a plain old baines.
I got it written off with the near.
Congrats on all the success.
I mean, it's.
Yeah, it's good to see.
We know you've been grinding for a while, too, so it's much deserved.
And, yeah, the content's been fucking awesome, bro.
I've enjoyed watching it.
Yeah, I don't know if you remember.
Because back in 2020,
I remember I lived in LA because I was doing YouTube and I met you guys and I was like it's kind of a full circle moment because I met I met you and I was like hey like let me come edit for you guys these are on my YouTube videos and you're looking at my channel I had like 20,000 subscribers like now dude just keep doing what you're doing like you don't need to work for us like you'll be better off of your own that's crazy I don't remember that but yeah that's dope is interesting well it fucking worked out worked out didn't want to give out another paycheck or was that I mean no like I think people like some people think too like you don't
always need someone to blow up yourself, too.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, so it's better if you blow up not needing like a network or a knelt or a bar stool.
You know what I'm saying?
Exactly.
Yeah.
Because like me and other people like me, it's like you just have to keep just learning and
learning.
Like you don't want it all at 18 years old.
Even at 23, it's kind of nerve-wracking to have all this following and have all this
attention because I've still got like three more lifetimes to live.
Yeah.
And all of us do.
And so like, who knows where we're going to be in 10 years from.
now, but it's like you kind of just have to have, like, faith that whatever you keep moving
or whatever opportunities come your way are, you can kind of navigate that.
Has, like, Jubilee hit you up to do a video?
Yeah, they did hit me up, but I didn't want, I didn't want to go debate with one of the kids
who doesn't have any logic.
How many times have you done Fox News now?
I've done Fox quite a bit, and there's the only news orientation that will hit me up, so
of course I'll go on them.
And CNN only wanted to get you in that kind of got you moment.
They didn't want to have you on.
Yeah, she was actually live at that moment when she did my interview.
she went live like a minute after
and I was like well let me come on live
let me talk live like right here
she wouldn't let me come on live
and so I knew when I did that interview
I'm like yeah they're just going to clip it up
but I actually ended up looking really good
and what they clipped up
yeah and I think Fox
I said this before on another podcast
but I just think they're like the most professional
they'll send you a van
they'll do whatever they're most accommodating
all these other ones are like a Zoom call
and you hop on and they just hop off
and Fox has the biggest reach as well
yeah that's awesome
well congrats bro we'll be watching
what's next and yeah you're fucking crushing it dude thank you fix california for us if you can
yeah why are you living there i don't know dude it's really hard to come to florida and then

give you an answer it goes to the homeless well dude go to downtown LA and then tell me that that's
