Starting point is 00:00:00 Nick Shirley, welcome to the show, man. Beautiful hoodie. Thanks for the new wardrobe. Love this. It's awesome. Quality Learning Center, 1-800 fraud. What's this from? We're going to be learning a lot today.
Starting point is 00:00:20 What inspired this? A lot of fraud happening in Minnesota. So, hey, just for anybody that's listening that knows Nick Shirley, which is pretty much the whole world at this point, and he's selling these amazing hoodies. So head over to where? Shirleydefense.com. Shirleydefense.com.
Starting point is 00:00:38 And get yourself a quality learning center hoodie. But, man, I've been watching you. I feel like I've been watching you for about a year and a half, maybe. And me and my team got in touch with you, I think about a year ago. And wow. Yeah, it's been quite the right. you got some balls bad so this whole thing started i mean i think when i first saw you you i believe you're you're maybe in california or washington or maybe oregon i can't remember but you're
Starting point is 00:01:12 running around talking to talking to addicted street people basically fentanyl users yeah i've done a lot of work especially around like the fentanyl crisis in america between fentanyl the border You've been everywhere. Been everywhere. That's just where I first found you. But, you know, so this latest thing, the Somali Learning Centers in Minnesota, I mean, wow. Just to start off, I mean, do you realize what you have done? I didn't realize what I had done until I posted the video and it received over 100 million views.
Starting point is 00:01:54 What do you think you've done? I think I just kind of show people how obvious for all. is inside the United States. Because people always talked about fraud. Nick, you've done a lot more than exposed fraud, man. That's huge. It's amazing. And I, I can't, it's, we're going to get all into that.
Starting point is 00:02:11 But dude, you've exposed major fraud. Because of that, I think we're likely going to see a politician held accountable and said, and on top of that, how many, how many major media come from, you know, media conglomerates are in the country. We got Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, News Nation, ABC. What am I missing? You got NPR, PBS. NPR, PBS, billions in billions in billions, like for all these companies, in a 23-year-old who's in business with his mom and a microphone. goes and uncovers this shit. You've destroyed every fucking media conglomerate in the country. It's a, they are a complete joke, every single fucking one of them.
Starting point is 00:03:08 Yeah, they really are. And then when it comes down to investigating the fraud, instead of investigating the fraud, they investigated me. I saw that. I saw they went after you, they attacked you. What do you think that is? Do you think they're embarrassed that they didn't cover it up, that they didn't find it? Or do you think that they're angry that you're the one that found it? Or do you think that they're angry that you actually uncovered it?
Starting point is 00:03:27 general one they're embarrassed and also I pose a threat to everything that they are I pose a threat to their dollars I pose a threat to their viewership why would they want me to get more views than them and when you have and people are realizing now with X and other platforms you can then post and then you can be seen by the entire world you don't actually need to go talk to the senior editor at the inside the board room to get the video approved to go post you can simply go by yourself, film the video, go ahead and post it, and then let the world make their own analysis
Starting point is 00:04:00 on what they've just seen. You know, me and my producer, Jeremy, we're talking about how to make you money before you got here, because I was like, man, this kid needs a business underneath them. And we were actually, we didn't have time to do it, but we wanted to print up hoodies, because you know, you're the hoodie guy now.
Starting point is 00:04:18 And we wanted to print hoodies that said, it turns out you can just do shit with meaning, All you need to do is just show up and do it. But, man, like, congratulations. Seriously, congrats. You've done a lot more than just exposed fraud. You've exposed legacy, corporate media. You are very possibly going to be one of the first people to ever actually uncover something
Starting point is 00:04:46 that actually holds a politician accountable. I mean, we just saw, didn't he just announced that he's not running for re-election today? Yeah, he dropped out from re-election. How's that feel? That's you, man. That's you. Yesterday he was calling me a delusional conspiracy theorist, and then today he dropped out. Oh, man. Tim Walsh, fucking career politician picking on a 23-year-old kid. What a tough guy. Yeah, what a tough guy. What a tough guy.
Starting point is 00:05:09 What a fraudster. Have you ever met him? No. Would you like to meet him? Oh, yeah. I love to meet him. I'd love to meet him. I try to go to his office, but he wouldn't let me. Did you really? Yeah, I tried to go to his office last time in Minnesota, and his guy came out, and they're like, no, Tim's not here. and my guy David was telling him, like, no, like, we have questions to ask him, and how come you're allowing this to happen? And the guy who's, like, running his desk was like, no, we just can't talk today. What questions were you going to ask him? Anything specific that you were just dying to ask him?
Starting point is 00:05:42 Yeah, because he had been talking about how there was organized crime inside Minnesota. And if you're a state representative or you work for the government in Minnesota, by law, you have to notify the authorities that there are. is laws being broken inside of your state, and he didn't do that. So there's like a statue that he's reliable to tell the government about, like, a law, but he didn't do it.
Starting point is 00:06:06 And he knew the crime was happening, but he kept letting it go on. How do you know he knew? Because he said in a press conference, organized crime is why some of this stuff has happened. And so he knew about organized crime, but he never did anything about it. So he admitted to it.
Starting point is 00:06:23 Do you think he's going to be held accountable? I mean, if you look at Polly Market, Polly Market, a whole lot of different percentages here, but will anybody be charged over daycare fraud in Minnesota by certain dates? Percentages make it look like it's definitely happening at some point, but, you know, what happens if nobody's been charged? 22% think that he will see somebody held accountable or charged for the daycare fraud,
Starting point is 00:06:51 22% by the end of the month in January, 76% say in six months and 83% think it'll happen by the end of the year. Those are some of the most promising percentages I've seen. What do you think? I think they will. It might take a little bit more time because I think we want them to come with all the evidence, so it's literally impossible for Tim to escape, or whether it's Tim or Elon Omar, or if it's just one of the fraudsters who's running these daycares. We want the evidence to be so solid.
Starting point is 00:07:21 that they can escape. And so it might maybe take a little bit longer, but there has to be accountability, because the fraud is so open and blatant. I mean, they already charged somebody for feeding our future. She was a white woman, too. So this isn't about race. She was a white woman, she got charged.
Starting point is 00:07:38 And then they also did charge somebody just a few months ago, who was a Somalian for $7.2 million, $7.2 or $7.6 for Medicaid fraud. But after being charged and found guilty, the judge overturned it. overturned it and let the guy walk. What? Yes.
Starting point is 00:07:57 So that's how bad the government is inside of Minnesota. And so that's why it's so critical by what I just did, not only do we expose to fraud, but we also just exposed how corrupt and how that government is not working for the people, for the Minnesotans. Well, Nick, let me give you a, we're going to dive into this pretty deep. Let me give you an introduction here. Nick Shirley, a bold 23-year-old. old independent journalist who's taken the internet by storm with your fearless on the ground
Starting point is 00:08:25 investigations. Known for exposing stories, the legacy media won't touch from immigration debates to government waste. Recent bombshell video uncovering alleged massive fraud in Minnesota's taxpayer-funded programs racked up over 126 million views. Literally broke the internet. A fearless a fearless patriot who goes to where the stories are and you're the youngest guest I've ever had on this show. And once again, thank you for the hoodie. So a couple of things, Nick, I'm worried about your safety. So, you know, I got some buddies over at Sig. One of them's name is Jason. And he's the VP of marketing over there. I told him you were coming on the show. He's like, I fucking love that guy. You got to ask him if he's carrying, which I did. You're
Starting point is 00:09:16 not. So now you are. No way. So I got you a little something. Me and Jason. A little something to protect yourself out there on the streets, the mean streets of Minnesota, Portland, San Francisco, Seattle, Paris. Well, you're probably not going to get it into Paris, but no way. So that is the Sig SIGSauer P-365 Legion. Don't point it at yourself. I know, I know. But it's unloaded, so you're good. 17 rounds in the magazine, plus one in the pipe, so that's 18 rounds. They got their brand new carry optic on there, a little red dot. And then if you look at the slits at the front of the barrel there, that's to help with your recoil management. But that is like, that is the Cadillac of subcompact EDC guns, pistols. So, wow. Thank you. You're welcome, man. You're welcome.
Starting point is 00:10:11 It's a lot, actually. So. I've never been gifted something like this, so thank you. Well, now you have. You're welcome. That's pretty epic. And if you think that's cool, you'll really think this shit's cool. The gummy bears. Vigilance League gummy bears, buddy. Legal in all 50 states made right here in the USA and Michigan. Maybe you can hand those out to Somali toddlers that are in daycare.
Starting point is 00:10:37 Maybe. We could find them. In the learning center. Wow. Thank you so much, Sean. Yeah, you're welcome, man. You're welcome. And then lastly, before we get on with the interview, I have a Patreon account.
Starting point is 00:10:48 If you don't have one, you should. But I've turned this Patreon subscription account into quite the community. And so one of the things I do is I offer them the opportunity to ask every guest to question. They were fucking pumped that you're here. So this is from Brad Campbell. Nick, it takes courage to take on politics and politicians, especially when bringing potential fraud. to the forefront. What was your personal motivation to move forward to uncover and what drove you to be so relentless? Lastly, do you have ambitions for other stories of similar involvement?
Starting point is 00:11:27 Yeah, I think when you see just the corruption, when it's just so obvious, for instance, with the border, I saw people who literally get trafficked over into the United States. And now you're seeing people too afraid to call things out for what they are and enable fraud to happen inside their state. Meanwhile, Americans are suffering, and yet these politicians are too afraid to be called in a racist or Islamophogue for saying that 89% of the population is committing fraud inside of their state. So I think it's just more so standing up for the people that actually represent you, and it's necessary because if there needs to be somebody to do it, if it takes a 23-year-old to do it, that's my responsibility is to show people what's actually happening. And I do
Starting point is 00:12:12 have plans to go to other locations and other states and I'm a YouTuber at the end of the day too so I have to keep posting videos now it's a lot more dangerous I have to right now I have 24-7 security with me because pirates are after me essentially I didn't piss off the best group to be pissing off been there buddy yeah so never goes away once it's here now I have that and it's just harder to plan stuff and but it's necessary so I will continue to do it good man good Good. It's important. It's really important what you're doing. I am curious. Have you seen, have you, have you, do you think you've inspired people? Have you seen, I hate to call them copycats, but I don't know what else to call them. I mean, are you inspiring? Are you seeing any, like, people getting inspiration from what you're doing and getting out there and starting to uncover, uncover more and more stuff? Yeah, I think like usually I'm always kind of ahead of this stuff So like for instance I was ahead of this fraud stuff
Starting point is 00:13:09 And now after you've seen other people go and do that Which is great It is a little worrisome Because you don't want just a bunch of people Go knocking on daycares Like I did all my due diligence With the man David before I went and did it Doesn't sound like you actually knocked on any daycares though
Starting point is 00:13:25 Me? I mean we've knocked on We try to talk to people But No one was there If there's no kids is it a daycare Yeah, well, that's true. There wasn't any daycares. There's just buildings. You know, Jeremy brought up a good point. He was talking about, I can't remember how many kids you have, but he's like, if you have four kids and I have four kids and I watch your four kids and you watch my four kids, there's two daycares. That's $25,000 a month per person. Yes.
Starting point is 00:13:55 I was like, holy shit. Is that? So let's go, let's go to the very beginning. How did this, how did this pop up? on your radar. So I knew about the fraud happening because I went to Minnesota last June to do a video on the rise of Islam inside of America. And I had heard that it's growing super fast and that mosque are popping up everywhere inside Minnesota. Christian churches are turning into mosque
Starting point is 00:14:21 and I started talking to the people. And I people, everyone kept telling me, well, you need to look into the fraud. And I said, well, how do I look? Who's everybody? All these Minnesotans, they started reaching out to me. And they knew I was in their state. One up there to talk about the rise of Muslim church, the Muslim religion in Minnesota.
Starting point is 00:14:44 Yes. And talking about churches being converted into mosque. I mean, are you seeing, was there a lot of that happening? A lot of it, yes. I mean, there's entire communities that have been completely pushed out by the small communities. Like, there's places like Cedar Riverside, for instance, right next to a college, there used to be a bar there called Palm. Palmer's bar. Last June it was there. I went back last week. It's not there anymore. They have entirely pushed out white people. Anybody that's not Muslim or anybody who's not Somalian,
Starting point is 00:15:16 they've pushed them outside of their communities. What's it look like inside those communities? Is it clean? No, it's not clean at all. You have... Is it safe? No, it's not safe. In fact, in June, I was with my mom. She helps me film a lot of times. They jumped me, my mom. They jumped over me, grabbed my camera. They took it from me. And then my mom, she tried to go like, oh, Mama Bear and, like, step in. I was like, mom, stop. And so I actually kind of stopped bringing my mom with me after that because the Somalis try to attack us. And they're about ready to punch me and smash my camera. And then I have my mom coming after me, like, trying to defend for myself. And I had to, like, get my mom out of the situation. And then
Starting point is 00:15:52 I had this, like, six-foot-four Somalian man with three other guys. And he's going in the back of his car to grab something and my mom's freaking out and I'm just trying to get my camera back and then they finally give it back and then they follow us all the way out no shit so they're pissed that you're... There's entire Somali
Starting point is 00:16:12 gangs that control these locations. What are the names of the gangs? Do you know? I don't know the names of the gangs. How big are the gangs? I'm sure they're just friend groups because that's what kind of gangs are in the United States from the most part. It's just a group of friends that walk around armed, like they're little militias.
Starting point is 00:16:32 And whether it be 10 friends, 20 friends, 30 friends, or entire organization, it kind of varies depending on cities here in the United States. But there's entire just gangs. There's like, you can look it up on YouTube. There's gangs inside, like Somali wars going on inside of these areas.

Starting point is 00:19:44 on my Instagram story that was in Minnesota and this lady by the name of Jennifer she's she messaged me she's like I'm a real estate agent here you wouldn't believe what's happening our property taxes are going up they're putting in these daycares and these uh these adult next right next door to the house I'm trying to sell, and I can't even tell the seller, I can't even tell the buyer that the house next to it is an adult daycare center, or else I'll be breaking a law.
Starting point is 00:20:10 What, breaking a law? Like, they're not able to let people know that, that's what she told me, they're not able to let people know that they're running these adult centers or these adult home health care facilities next door. Breaking a law? Yeah, like, they cannot. or and she's in the government for instance if a person is a like a PDF or a predator the state's not it's not
Starting point is 00:20:40 it's not necessary for them to tell the neighbor next door that they're moving in or that if that real estate agent is then selling that house she can't tell the client next who's living next door holy shit and their property taxes have gone up a ton to in minnesota like there's a law like the corruption's really bad you looked into that law is that a law or was she mistaken i just there's a word that says you cannot disclose that there's daycare next i've never heard of any i've never heard of it's a commercial business not a not a not a well these are private ones they have like private daycares and private adult daycares, private home health cares. And like, there's just normal houses,
Starting point is 00:21:29 people living next door, and they have, are taking care of four people that need their assistance. And they're just collecting checks from the government. And that's not only happening in Minnesota and Washington State. There's all these just neighborhoods for, there's just a random house that's a daycare, or an adult daycare, or assisted living, or home health care. how many of the like if you had to put a percentage on how many people knew this was going on up there what would the percentage be
Starting point is 00:22:00 at least 50% of the population are you so this is this is this is common scuttlebut talk around the town at the barbershop and the restaurant people are bitching about this and in grocery store everybody knows this is like common knowledge it's the rest of the country that didn't know yeah even so this is police departments had to know about it the governor everybody knows about it yes i mean tim waltz said in 2019 he was with fighting fraud in 2017 there was videos of people bringing in millions of dollars through the tsa airport and moving that money back to smalia 2015 there's fbii footage of daycares giving cash to the moms inside the daycares like that fraud's been happening for so long but nobody had actually brought it to a national level to the point where
Starting point is 00:22:50 people could physically see with their eyes that there's nobody inside the daycares and these people can't even give you a brochure to enroll a child like okay maybe it doesn't matter if it's in the daycare but at least give me a brochure to enroll my little boy joey so it could leer a little but they can't even do it so hold hold how did you when did you make the switch when did you go from looking at churches that converted into boss to when did when did i mean where did you start who's david So I did that video back in June I was just there for two days I couldn't really make a video
Starting point is 00:23:26 I didn't want to just go and slander a group of people if I actually didn't have any proof other than just taking it for people's word around the community and so I had been doing my own research trying to make this video and it took me a couple months and I wasn't really getting too far like I needed the physical numbers
Starting point is 00:23:41 from the state capital and then I randomly get this message from this guy named David on Instagram and he says Nick I have all the proof all the money people are Someone from inside the Capitol has given me this information, and there's nobody inside these daycares. Come to Minnesota and will, and I'll help you expose the fraud.
Starting point is 00:24:00 And I usually don't respond to DMs because I get so many of them. And I was like, all right, send me your number. Let's hop on a phone call. So I get down with the gym, I give this guy a call. And he's super charismatic, super cool guy. I was like, all right, this guy would be awesome. And he tells me all the information. And I told him, all right, I'm coming to Minnesota around December 16th.
Starting point is 00:24:20 How many years did this guy have been diving into this subject? He's been looking at it for years, upwards of seven years. And he's also been fighting corruption since he was around my age as well, like just fighting to keep the, he fought to keep the twins inside of Minnesota, the baseball team. And so he's kind of been like a lifelong, like he just wants the truth to be out more than anything. And I was the only person who actually gave him the opportunity to present. his evidence and go out and do what we did. The local news, they have been reporting on fraud
Starting point is 00:24:55 for years, but they had been? They had been, but they weren't able to get it pushed to a national level because these news organizations don't know how to reach the audiences. I mean, there's a video from 28. But this is where the news always starts. It always starts at the local level. It starts at the local level and then it goes to mainstream. And so mainstream had to have seen this and refused to pick it up. And that's both right and left, by the way. Yes. And Tim Walts was also selected to be vice president. And within just a day, he raised the most money than any other candidate history. Actually, I didn't know that. Yeah. You can look that up. Kamala Harris picked him. There's actually really no reason to pick Tim Walts.
Starting point is 00:25:46 Nobody really knew him. He's a weird guy who vouchs for tampons and boys' bathrooms. And he ends up raising the most amount of money than any other candidate in U.S. history within a day for a campaign. Where do you think that came from? Maybe a little bit of the day first. Like, it's just so obvious. And so I really do hope they crack down on it and, like, prosecute Tim Wallis.
Starting point is 00:26:12 So where did you guys start? You and David. You go up to Minnesota. You meet David, where do you go? Meet David, I go to his office and he goes, well, I have these daycares just literally just right by my place where I work. How many daycares are out there? Oh, if you drive around Minneapolis, within just a few blocks, you'll start seeing adult daycares, daycares, autism centers, home health care places, transportation vehicles, like the whole entire city of Minneapolis, like, is plagued by this fraud. Are you serious?
Starting point is 00:26:45 You can't go a mile without finding one. Wow. You'll wonder why there are all these daycares. How many did you go to? One day we went to seven, but inside of some of those locations, there were three or four inside of the same one. You went in one building, I think. Wasn't there like 10 daycares in one building? In one building there was 14 healthcare companies.
Starting point is 00:27:11 Another one, there's 22 healthcare companies mixed with daycare. and then in one building specifically, there were three daycares inside the same building we're all receiving money from the government. Okay, so when you're talking about these buildings, are these, is this a business suite where it's, you're in suite 102, you're in 103, you're in 104, or are there three daycares all within suite 102? Both. You got to be shitting me.
Starting point is 00:27:43 In my video, I go inside one building with a lot. I think it was 14 and they all had these they had their own rooms but for instance in room 7c there were three healthcare companies operating inside the same one and if you're trying to
Starting point is 00:27:59 make a profit why would you have all these competitors surrounding you it doesn't make any sense because it doesn't matter because it doesn't matter and nobody's checking up on them and even if they do get checked for instance quality leering center
Starting point is 00:28:14 they have received over 90 violations over just the past few years yet they keep giving them $1.9 million a year and then the ladies has photos with her and Elon Omar and then that same lady is also
Starting point is 00:28:32 taking the mayor to her other daycare in a video and then that guy who comes out and says that I'm the fraud is parting with the mayor of Minneapolis after he wins the election it's just complete fraud and it's for them to come after me like I actually never even gave my opinions on the internet
Starting point is 00:28:52 however my hand was forced to start giving my opinions because they came after me they came after my family they docks my entire family how did they come after you be specific well they tried to come after me they tried to debunk all my whole entire story they then who's they the all the news would you just get more specific CNN who within CNN who's the reporter i don't even know her name because she's irrelevant nobody knows who she is we'll put a clip of it up did you come during their
Starting point is 00:29:23 normal operating hours when you came to visit i came at 11 a.m i believe and i also came the following day later in the day the point of it is not whether or not i came at the right at the right time of their operation hours the point is it blacked outdoors they can't give you any information you call that number no one answers i wasn't trying to go and see side, there should be a way for somebody to actually be able to call that number and somebody to be able to answer. These aren't real businesses. But surely you don't think a daycare should just be unlocked. You shouldn't be able to just walk into a daycare. It shouldn't be a reception. No. Every daycare is locked. And so, okay, you bring you up fair point. Then why can't they
Starting point is 00:30:01 actually give me information how to enroll a child? How do you know that all the allegations that you're making are true? How do I know that they're true? Well, we showed you guys We showed you guys what was happening, and then you guys can go ahead and make your own analysis. We're coming, so we can make our own analysis. Are you 100% sure you're true? Yeah, I am 100% sure I'm true. You're saying that this is a fraudulent daycare. There's kids being dropped off right now. Yes. The commissioner of children literally said a week ago, this place was closed. They're showing face right now.
Starting point is 00:30:25 And, um, she seemed like a very nice lady when I was talking to her. And I actually even gave her the opportunity to interview me live because she had her live booth right there. She wouldn't do it. She wouldn't interview you. Not live. Why? I wonder why. I wonder why. And so I knew as soon as I had done my interview with her, I was like, well, we'll see what she puts out.
Starting point is 00:30:43 And I actually ended up looking very good because I said, well, yeah, I'm sure. I gave you guys evidence. Go ahead and make your own analysis. And but I did give her the opportunity to interview me live. She wouldn't do it. It's so, I mean, it's, I just, the, oh, man, they have, legacy media has clung to the, baby boomer generation and they will fucking die with the baby boomer generation we'll never change that generation's mind neither i mean they're spot and sold on legacy media but they when they will
Starting point is 00:31:20 fucking die with the baby boomer generation it will be a glorious death yeah i can't wait i don't know who's even watching who's going to continue to watch them after my grandparents are gone that's what i'm telling you they're going to die with the baby boomer generation like fox news is probably the only one where I feel like they provide actually like their show is a good quality show if you watch CNN it's very boring Fox News at least keeps it interesting for you to watch but it's going to be interesting too with Fox News like will they eventually just drown out as well I don't know I feel like they're maybe doing a better job than other news organizations but they also have their own biases as well each each organization has their own bias but like you watch CNN it's so boring
Starting point is 00:32:07 If you watch MSNBC, a lot of their stuff's just on Zoom. But if you watch Fox, you'll notice how much higher quality it is. And if you get invited on, they treat you a lot better as far as, like, bringing you on. They, like, make sure you're good to go. They check you out. All these other ones are like, all right, hop on the Zoom. And, okay, sounds going. And then after you finish your shot, they just, like, drop you.
Starting point is 00:32:31 You don't even know what to do next. But Fox is the most professional by far. your leaps and bounds ahead of all of them man congratulations i'd like to think so thank you that's pretty awesome pretty fucking awesome and an embarrassment for every single one of them so the first place you go to how many how many times you just strike out before you actually found one we went to the first one makeo child care and maco is also connected with another child care inside the same building so inside the same building two daycare centers were receiving separate money and i thought we were just going to go and open the door and talk to the lady at the reception about how can I enroll
Starting point is 00:33:10 my child and I get there and all the windows are completely blacked out and above me the sign says open 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. I ring the doorbell. A doorbell doesn't even work. What's going on? You guys just received millions of dollars over five million dollars in the past few years. Who can I talk to? No one's there. And finally, Somali. pulls up, and I ask her, where are the children at work? Can we talk to somebody about enrolling our child? She goes, I don't know. She hadn't ever even seen him.
Starting point is 00:33:45 Do you know how much money has been sucked out of the Minnesota government for this stuff? Is this all state funding? It's state and federal funding. So CACP funding is Child Care Assistance Program, which is state and federal money. That's why you saw the HHS freeze, $185 million in funding. because a lot of selling this money is federal money as well. But just over the past few years, the guy came out and he said, anywhere's upwards of $9 billion.
Starting point is 00:34:15 $9 billion. We have people dying on the streets, homeless, veterans with a suicide epidemic, the biggest fentanyl crisis the world's ever seen, and we're fucking sending $9 billion to fake fucking daycare accounts so that they can send it right back to Somalia. We're sending $40 million a week, up to $87 million a week to the Taliban, which I fought for fucking damn near,
Starting point is 00:34:39 well, about 14 years and the country bought for about, what, 21, 22, 20-something years? Yeah, it's a disgrace, and it's such a slap in the face of all of us. It is. I mean, what do you think about, you've seen all the hype around this tax strike, haven't you? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:35:00 What do you think about that? I mean, what the Boston Tea Party do? they did what they did over just a few percentages and work paying upwards of some people are paying 50% so obviously none of it's coming back and none of it's coming back none of it's it's all going to some other country and some other fucking land and it sure shit isn't coming here that's very obvious yeah and it's like why are we funding this and why are we funding all these other programs too i mean lots of moms are paying up 30 to 70 grand a year to put their kid in daycare center Meanwhile, you don't see one single white person coming out of any of these daycares.
Starting point is 00:35:40 Do you think this tax strike's going to, do you think it's going to spread? I don't know. We'll see. Do you want to see it spread? I think it'd be cool, but I think they might arrest people. I mean, if you mess up on your tax bill, they're going to put you in jail. Well, they can't arrest all of us. Unfortunately, for people like us, you're going to get arrested.
Starting point is 00:35:58 I'm going to get arrested. And anybody else with a microphone is going to get arrested. but yeah if I hope maybe it makes the government listen and tells the people like tells them okay we got to figure this out and I had a lot of respect for Elon for and I understand why it was so hard for him to do what he was trying to do with Doge
Starting point is 00:36:18 because the fraudsters complain the loudest yeah yeah and I mean he he he tried to do America such a service and by going cutting out some of this fraud and what they do to him they burned down his businesses they attacked him and they tried everything possible to try to stop the man yeah yeah man well how much what do you think is going to have you have you seen uh the minnesota government do anything yet other than tim wallace they're all very upset out of re-election they're all very upset there are some people inside of minnesota for instance there's a fraud committee and they're trying
Starting point is 00:36:57 they've label out they've made it very obvious they have the charts of who's getting the money and everything like that. And with HHS freezing the money, all these businesses have the opportunity to prove they're legit. As of now, not a single business has submitted to prove that they're a legitimate business. If you had children to feed, how quick would you be submitting your form to get your money back? You'd be doing it immediately. How are the mainstream media outlets attacking you? What are they saying? What are they doing? You'll notice the first thing they say is MAGA YouTuber, right-wing influencer, conservative. That's the first thing they do is put you in a bucket.
Starting point is 00:37:35 Anything but journalist. They'll say quite literally anything. 23-year-old, like, okay, cool, I just did a better job than you at 23. But they'll try to say, conservative, MAGA, Trump. It's like, no, I just showed you guys the facts. All the buzzwords. Yeah. it's actually pretty funny because I'm like you guys are so stupid you have the opportunity to
Starting point is 00:38:01 maybe show people you're a little bit more legit yeah instead you're taking the fraud like they're taking debate yeah they're they're taking the bait so awesome they're gonna die on that hill I can't fucking wait we got about maybe 20 years left before they're completely fucking dead yeah I agree but well what else are they could because I thought they were calling you racist, all that kind of stuff, too. Must out the race card. Yes. Real original.
Starting point is 00:38:31 Yes. Tim Waltz has called me a white supremacist. He's called me a delusional conspiracy theorist. Are you a white supremacist? No. Are you sure? I'm sure. How do you know?
Starting point is 00:38:42 I just know. Okay. I'm not a white supremacist. All right. I got black friends too. Right on. Hey too. So for them to say that, it's just like...
Starting point is 00:38:50 It's ridiculous. Yeah, they're trying to do everything they can. For instance, like, calling me a MAGA influencer, calling me a right-wing influencer, calling me they say anti-immigration, which, yes, I am anti-illegal immigration. The word's illegal. Anti-Islam, then they call me conspiracy theorists. They're trying to do everything.
Starting point is 00:39:14 They're calling me a fascist. They're calling me Nazi. They're trying to do everything they can. So when the moment somebody tries to do something, it's justifiable for them. Man, you know, it's actually, I hate to say it like this, but it's actually kind of cool that they've gone through every derogatory name that they can think of. And they've abused it so much that none of it holds any weight anymore. None of it. It's, it really does it.
Starting point is 00:39:40 It holds no weight. Racist holds no, nothing holds any weight because they've overused. They've, they've overabused all of the buzzwords. They mean nothing now. which also sucks because somebody that actually is a fucking racist it's not going to carry the same weight because it's just like it's like the little boy that cried wolf story you've done it so much that nobody fucking listens anymore
Starting point is 00:40:06 somebody told me once the moment somebody calls you a nazi is the moment you can discredit them for whatever they're about to say next how can you call me a nazi it's a damn good point it's a damn good point that's just how misconstrued some of these people's minds have become what would you like to see happen one accountability and you'd like to see people be happy that you just showed fraud and you wouldn't want to see people out there defending it who else do you think needs to be held accountable over them waltz there's got to be a lot more people oh yeah all the people inside dhs who are cutting the checks the the judge for instance that one judge who let the guy walk
Starting point is 00:40:48 free of $7.2 million in Medicaid fraud, you'd like the Somalis to go out and say, okay, 89% of the fraud being committed by us is, 89% of the fraud being committed in Minnesota is by us Somalians. Let's talk. Let's figure out how to not commit so much fraud. And they'll even say it in my video in part two I have coming out. They're like, are we the only community that commits fraud?
Starting point is 00:41:18 It's a great defense. Do you follow Nick Flentes at all? Yeah. He just posted this. Fuentes posted, all of the complaining about Somalians were result in nothing. No mass arrests. No mass deportations.
Starting point is 00:41:37 Nothing transformative. We all know that. What do you think about what he's saying there? Part one, when you hear that, what do you think is actually happening? Do you think he actually has a point there? I think you're seeing the government. They've never done anything.
Starting point is 00:41:53 They've never launched a full investigation, multiple investigations within just a few hours of a video being released. So right now, the Trump administration has a lot of things on their hands. Right now they have Venezuela. They had the whole entire Epstein. Screw up.
Starting point is 00:42:08 That looked really bad. And you're having mass deportations and people, they might not be deporting as many people as people would like. I just drew him the biggest layup ever. If they really wanted to go in and get everyone back on board, this is a great opportunity for him, so they better go and do it. I hope they do. I hope they do.
Starting point is 00:42:30 You're 23, and you've watched how fast your own reporting could move online. Why is Fentes able to gain traction with young audiences? And what does that tell you about how Gen Z decides who to trust now? Yeah, Nick Fentz, he's extremely entertaining to watch. he's actually like a comedian when he talks he's pretty funny and you can't say he's not if he wasn't millions of people
Starting point is 00:42:55 wouldn't be watching him now do you agree with everything he says no do you agree with everything Dave Chappelle says no is there some truth that Nick Fuentes is saying yes what about you I'm saying that you got millions and millions of people they think the question is you know
Starting point is 00:43:13 what is it about you guys that gen z is just going nuts over yeah it's this raw real well for you in the weeds it's this shit that nobody's doing anymore yeah and growing up you were very it's hard to go out and say what you want because you're worried about people coming after you and so when you have people like nick fun tos who are just saying things as they as he wants to say them people are going to get attached to that. And for me, if I'm going out and showing people things for what they really are and I'm not censoring people out of the conversation, people are going to like that because they want that realness, because they want to feel represented. They don't want to feel like
Starting point is 00:43:56 they're having one conversation with their friend in the car, and then they have to go out to the dinner table and have a different conversation. Do you think, do you think, I'm curious to hear, do you think Gen Z is as tribalized as the older generations, or is Gen Z solely interested in just the truth. They're just so tired of all the bullshit from both sides. They're just interested in actual factual information, not opinion pieces, not any of that, just facts and people with the courage to put it out there. I would say once they graduate high school and they realize how hard real life really is to make real money and to be able to get into a house and to be provide for yourself, yes. Like, they just want the truth cut and dry. That's why you see so many of
Starting point is 00:44:47 them kind of either feeling very defeated or people are actually rising up to the battle that we're facing. Because a lot of these kids are starting their life behind the starting line. They go to college. The bank will give them $100,000 loan. They start their life off $100,000 in debt. And so a lot of people are wondering, well, why actually are we doing that? And that's why, whether it be Nick Fuentes or whether it be Charlie Kirk, we're all kind of trying to share the same message at the end of the day that go chase the American dream because you're capable of doing it, question yourself, question the people you listen to. Like, Nick, we all serve our own roles in this atmosphere of politics or just commentary.
Starting point is 00:45:32 Your role is different than my role. Nick Fuentes' roles is different than me and yours. role is to show people what's happening from the ground. The news is to try and show people whatever they're trying to do. And then you have people like Charlie Kirk is going to talk to the kids to colleges. You have people like Tucker Carlson and Kenneth Owens who are stirring up the pot. And then you have people on CNN. I don't even want to say their names because I don't even want to give them credit. But they're also stirring up the pot on that side. And there needs to be a way where we can all kind of come together in a common ground. And that's what Gen Z is kind of looking for is just kind of to feel represented in a way where they have some hope so you're saying they want to see
Starting point is 00:46:12 the bickering stop and results start to happen yeah i would say like we just want to have the same opportunities that our parents or grandparents had like a lot of kids aren't getting married myself included i'm 23 i'm not in no rush to get married but the a lot of people just feel like why would i get married when i can't even get into a house and I'll be suffering with my wife and living in some junky apartment. That's what it is, huh? Yeah, it's like you see the TikToks of, I love the TikToks of like the Old America when you see just people out in the street with their family and their kids
Starting point is 00:46:53 and the epic music, the American flags, and then I hate when I see the next scene is when you're seeing just people strung out on fentanyl on the street corners, and you're seeing people getting battles over race and religion. It's just like, that's not what this is all about. Yeah. Yeah. Nick, let's take a quick break. When we come back, let's dive into some of the other stuff you've uncovered.

Starting point is 00:50:59 all right nick we're back from the break i got a correction to make apparently the media did cover this a little bit you already said that that some of the local media covered it but i guess the new york times also covered it early on but i've seen them be a lot more persistent with a variety of other topics you would think this one would be right at the top of the list but anyways so just had to correct myself there i hate putting out bad info but um we were talking about all the people that rallied around the video yes how fast did that happen i posted the video i go to the gym and i get on x and i didn't even have time to start posting clips because everyone else had starting posting clips of the video i was like oh i got something here
Starting point is 00:51:51 because to me that was just a normal weekly upload because i've been doing a weekly upload every week for 100 and more than 104 weeks. And so I'm seeing the video go mega-viral while I'm working out with my brother. I'm like, wait, what's going on? Like, I got to get back and post my video because I hadn't even posted on X yet. I was like, I have to go post it before somebody else does.
Starting point is 00:52:10 So I hurry, go home, I post the video, and then within just a few hours, just boom, boom, million. And then Elon retweets it. And then J.D. retweets it. Not only do they retweet it, they then quote it. And then not only do they just retweet it, then they come back to the retweet and they interact with it.
Starting point is 00:52:31 Wow. So you have the biggest account in the world, Elon Musk, he's the biggest platform on X, he's retweeting the video. Then he's also interacting with it. He's saying stuff like prosecute Tim Waltz. You have JD Vant saying, this dude has done more than all the other people
Starting point is 00:52:48 who won the, I think it's called the Pulitzer Prize or something like that. And then you just had a mega, all these big accounts interacting with it and then you just have the overall general American population it's so funny because people are like oh is this an inside job I'm like
Starting point is 00:53:04 no it got shared by over 240,000 Americans also retweeted this video 240 billion 40,000 shit and so it's like when people say like are you that's insane numbers for X
Starting point is 00:53:22 like and then over 600 and something thousand people watched it or no 600,000 people liked it and it got over 135 million views wow wow most viewed bit most viewed video by anyone whose name is not Mr. Beast on a video over 10 minutes long and for a damn good reason you know I've I've heard a lot of I've heard a lot of uh the internet trolls out there saying that There's a possibility that you're some type of an internet plant. What is this? What's that all about? Been uploading videos since I was 15 years old.
Starting point is 00:54:04 Consistency and hard work. What's the rumor? Are you even aware of this? There's so much stuff. But, like, I know people are like, oh, who's putting him in here? How's he getting this? How's he doing that? I'm like, I'm just outworking you guys.
Starting point is 00:54:19 Yeah. Like, if you've made a YouTube video, for a hundred weeks and you have big videos, you have ones that don't do so well, you're going to hit eventually. It's funny how everybody makes it seem like you just fell right into success, isn't it? Yeah, it was pretty funny.
Starting point is 00:54:36 So, of course, you have to be a plant. But, well, let's talk about some of the other stuff that you've done. I've done a lot of stuff. I know you have, man. Let's start in California. Yeah, so California, it's probably like the worst manager.
Starting point is 00:54:52 state in America. Like, the fraud's bad in Minnesota, but California could even be worse. What'd you see over there? I mean, I, you're out, I mean, it's like, it's like you're everybody's eyes and ears, you know, and so I don't, I don't, I don't go to California. I have no business there or have no reason to be there or don't want to be there. But, you know, I see all the stuff on the news about people raiding, you know, they're raiding, whatever, target stores and all kinds, All kinds of shit. The fentanyl crisis isn't as bad as the media makes it out to be? Yeah, California, it is as bad as the media makes out to be.
Starting point is 00:55:32 You have just inside of Beverly Hills alone, you have homeless people sleeping outside of mansions. Like, literally within just a few blocks, you have homesheel settings their own homes encampments in the street. You're walking across poop. Like, this isn't an exaggeration. Like, I've done it. I've done it.
Starting point is 00:55:49 I've shown people what's happening. You obviously have Skid Row there. That's been a big issue for years. But then you have $24 billion that just went missing for the homeless that went unaccounted for. What? Have you not heard about that? No. Over $24 billion went uncounted for to fight homeless.
Starting point is 00:56:07 Are you saying million or billion with a B? Billion with a B. $24 billion went missing? She went missing. And meanwhile, Gavin Newsom is buying a $9 million mansion. in the Bay Area. Did he really? Yes.
Starting point is 00:56:24 I didn't know that. I got to start putting some allegedlys out there, so they can't come after me, but allegedly he bought a $9 million mansion. Shit. And so the corruption's bad there between the homelessness. I mean, the homeless people literally get handed to them, the needles, the paraphernalia, the rubber bands,
Starting point is 00:56:45 they even get handed out to them the crack pipes to do their drugs. And then they'll be like, okay, here's this, and then here's some Narcan in case you kill yourself. Oh, in Maine, they're handing out free boofing kits. Yeah. You know what a boofing kit is? Uh, no.
Starting point is 00:56:59 What is a boofing kit? Oh, man. I've been waiting for somebody to ask me this, because I didn't know what it was when Steve Robinson told me what a free boofing kit was. I said, what's a boofing kit? It's like, it sounds like some type of a balloon that you, you put the fentanyl in, and then you just shove it up your ass. What?
Starting point is 00:57:19 Yeah. really yeah because it's so it's for when your veins are so fucked up that they can't take any more heroin or fentanyl you just put it in this little capsule and shove it up their new effect dang yeah that fentanyl that fettie be hitting you haven't seen any boofing kits out in your adventures have you no i have not any of that stuff anybody putting up their bum that could oh i maybe yeah so now there you go nick and i'll be looking up you'll learn something Today. Now you can go to Maine and get a free boofing kit to inject your fentanyl with. I hear Maine's an interesting place. It sounds like it, isn't it? It really does.
Starting point is 00:57:59 I've been up there many times. Really? I think I need to go and do it. It's actually a beautiful state. You should go check it out. I imagine it's much like Washington State. I've never, I've been there. Really? How would you see in Washington? Washington? What's your favorite place that you frequent, Nick? Oh, my favorite place. Well, I don't know, because I'm going to a lot of like the belly, the beast places. Um, Seattle's really bad. Really, really bad. Worse than Cali?
Starting point is 00:58:26 What's the worst? What's the one that you thought was like, shit, I didn't know it was bad. I didn't think it was this bad. Kensington, Philadelphia. Really? Let's go there. What are you seeing there?
Starting point is 00:58:38 You have this entire community and it is just actually zombies. Like the people are so hooked on the drugs that they could care. about what's going on and they're just slumped in the fettie fold it's the most tragic thing to see ever because you see all these people you can go and have conversations with these people a lot of them are really good people nice people but they just got hooked on the fentanyl how how do they get hooked up what kind of conversation should you have them with them yeah so a lot of these people
Starting point is 00:59:09 there got hooked on drugs when they got in an injured in an accident and then they were maybe heroin addicts and then they just tried fentanyl once and because fentanyl is 50s times more powerful than heroin. By the time it's, by the time they want to switch back to heroin, because fentanyl is so powerful, heroin doesn't do anything to them. And so they end up just living out on the street looking for the next hit. And what's interesting is people want to talk about, oh, how Joe Biden was, like the border wasn't a big deal. Well, people, in Trump's first term, I talked to a man in San Francisco who's on drugs. He said in Trump's first office, it cost about $15 for a fentanyl pill because there's multiple different ways to take fentanyl so for a blue it was
Starting point is 00:59:55 $15. Joe Biden gets in the office they open up the borders it cost the addict only $5 for a hit and so in places like kensington philadelphia where it's also a liberal city they just have enabled it to happen and meanwhile you have little kids getting off of the train having to walk through walk over dead bodies are you shitting me not a joke in the little kids are like laughing about it they're like yeah one time my friend came up and he just punched one of the guys and he had no idea what happened and so like for these little kids to live in these communities it's just like a part of it which is sad like that should not be happening sad is fuck man yeah it's actually sickening and so this is like the shit i saw overseas that i
Starting point is 01:00:41 never wanted to wow yeah america it's that bad little kids are walking past dead bodies kicking him and punching them and joking about it. Like it's a, it's, that means, that means this is an everyday. Watched a. It's every day. That's not these kids walked over that one day. This is every day. Every day.
Starting point is 01:01:08 Watch the little kid in San Francisco walk over a dead body with his mom and his mom's grabbing into the little kid's freaking out. Meanwhile, the guy's passed out and overdosed on fentanyl. The addicts are around him like, what do we? we do. What are you doing? What are you doing? What do we do? And then I'm having to run over to go get a person to try to give Narcan and all the addicts are freaking out, not knowing what to do, and their friends dying on the ground. And that happens every single day in every major city in America, whether it's San Francisco or Kensington Philadelphia. That shouldn't be
Starting point is 01:01:44 happening. Did you save that guy? No, you couldn't. I mean, I ran over, grabbed the guy, and he did give him Narcan, and by that time, all the addicts had pushed me out because I had my camera, and they were so angry at me for having my camera that I didn't get to see what happened to the guy. Damn, man. But so, like, I had to run over and get the guy to give him the Narcan. And then the addicts, they're so delusional in their brain
Starting point is 01:02:13 because all they're thinking about is the next hit that they ended up moving me out of the area, and then I don't know what happened to the guy. Are they threatening you? I mean, they're so out of it. They're just yelling and stuff. Like these addicts, like you used to think like homeless people when you're younger, like, actually homeless people when I was younger, it was like, oh my gosh, like, let's help this guy.
Starting point is 01:02:35 I remember giving him $10 when we'd leave the jazz stadium after going to the basketball game and giving the homeless guy $10 and you wish him a good night. But now these guys are just on fentanyl. just slumped, moving back and forth, and they don't even care what happens. I mean, when you're talking about all of the rest of the addicts, you know, we're up in arms about this guy getting ready to overdose and die. I mean, how many addicts are we talking here? Probably 10 of them all around them, because they all just get in this little circle,
Starting point is 01:03:07 and there's multiple ways to do fentanyl, whether they're taking the blue or if they're lighting it on foil and just smoking the fumes, they're all just right next to each other.

Starting point is 01:04:51 Woo Wow Feels pretty good right Sean real quick where can people keep watching Patreon baby Nice three for three nice we started off really bad but thank you coach We're doing better you're welcome we got we got quite the learning center here You're a leering a lot out here.
Starting point is 01:05:16 How do you strike a conversation with them? Usually they're pretty nice. They're not really looking for anything. They're just sitting there doing their drugs, and you just go up and say, how are you doing? We're wondering if you just ask you a few questions. What got you into this?
Starting point is 01:05:34 And how long have you been out here for? And usually they're pretty happy to tell somebody their story. Because I try not to pay people for interviews. A lot of people walk around with $5 bills, and I don't like doing that. If someone's going to talk to me, they'll talk to me. And if I have to pay them, and then the interaction's not the same.
Starting point is 01:05:52 So I always try not to pay people. What else are you learning from these people? Just the fact that there's somebody else's son, daughter, and you do see, like, I think there's potential in these people if you could get them off the drugs. A lot of these people don't have any potential left in them because. I know their potential. My best friend fucking got killed by that shit. He was a Navy SEAL and then contracted with the CIA with me, one of the brightest people I've ever met in my life.
Starting point is 01:06:21 Yeah, there's so many people like it. And that's why I get so mad when I see these politicians getting so mad at Trump for trying to do something about it or for killing a narco boat. I don't care if they killed that narco boat because American people are dying. I've seen it with my own eyes. And that's also I don't respect the left-wing media at all, whether it be the TikTokers, YouTubers, they never leave their desk. All they are is just talking points. Meanwhile, I'm going out there, and because I'm going out there, they label me as a MAGA or conservative. No, I'm talking to the person strung out on fentanyl. I'm talking to the protester. I'm talking to the president. Do you consider yourself to be MAGA? Yeah, I support Donald Trump.
Starting point is 01:07:08 I think right now you kind of have you have to you have to decide all right maybe if you don't 100% agree with Trump and when I say I'm talking to Trump I'm saying like with my briefing I gave to him I've never talked to him behind closed doors or anything like that but yeah I support Trump because I think what he's doing he doesn't really have there's not really a reason why you not to support him if you're if you believe in what he's trying to do for America and you're the opposite would have been Kamala Harris and so you might you have to kind of pick and choose your battles with Trump. Did he totally mess up on the Epstein stuff? Yes. Is that something that's hard to look past? Yeah. Does there probably something weird going on there? Yeah. But is there big issues with drugs inside the United States, with illegal immigration, affordability? Why are other countries tariffing us and we can't tariff them back? I think you just have to pick your battles and if you want to succeed, you have to at least be supportive of somebody and also be critical at the same time. Yeah, I'm with you.
Starting point is 01:08:11 I think people need to really align themselves with the values and not with the individual. That's what it should be. It should be, I agree and I align with this initiative, not who's putting this initiative out. Well, then I can't fucking support it. Yeah, it's actually crazy
Starting point is 01:08:33 because just think about what happened with Maduro. Biden actually had a $25 million, bounty out for Maduro. Did he really? Yes, Biden and Kamala did. No shit. They put out 25 bounty during Biden's presidency. And so then Trump goes in, so far no casualties have been said
Starting point is 01:08:51 that we know about, he goes and captures Maduro, and then the left comes out advocating for Maduro. Like, what are they doing? And meanwhile, Venezuelans are celebrating all across the world because they've finally been liberated. Over 7 million people left Venezuela
Starting point is 01:09:11 because of Maduro is the largest exodus of a group of people in... Since California. Since California. In New York. Yeah. And so I just can't side with anything the left's doing
Starting point is 01:09:25 right now. Like I can't side with any of the leaders. I can't side with anything that they're pushing because I don't think they have America's best interest in heart. Yeah. Well, I think a lot of of people have felt that for a pretty long time but where else did you go in el salvador how was that that caught very cool i'm the first ever american to do it were you really yeah damn nick
Starting point is 01:09:55 that's crazy fucking killing it man i don't even know how i got that how you getting in your how did you get your way into there i went to el salvador because i was doing i was doing videos on illegal immigration and I was trying to join a caravan to go up and go from Middle Central America up to Mexico and I was looking at the map and I thought, oh, they have to pass through El Salvador. And I get to El Salvador
Starting point is 01:10:17 and I'm like, okay, where are the migrants at? I'm trying to join a caravan. I'm talking to the locals because I speak fluent Spanish and they're like, oh, we don't have migrants here. Like, what do you guys mean? This is like perfect spot for the map from the crossover.
Starting point is 01:10:31 They're like, no, we don't have them here. We're not migrants until we get to your country dead yeah yeah i was like what's going on they're like wait they're like we actually have people coming back from america i'm like what's going on and then everyone starts telling me about naive you kelly and about secot and so i get there my my whole entire video had to shift and i make a video about how this country has kind of solved illegal migration and i ended up interviewing one of the mayors and from there i just kept being super persistent about messaging any account i could possibly get my hands on to what on x that had anything to do with
Starting point is 01:11:04 with the government. If I could just find somebody to give me that contact to then message going to Side-Secot. And eventually just some random person said, this is the number of the secretary. And I messaged the press secretary of El Salvador. And she said, oh, no, not right now. Messaged me again in a month.
Starting point is 01:11:22 Messaged again, she said, oh, not right now. Messaged me again in a little bit. And I finally messaged her like six months later. And she's like, all right, here's your date to come inside-side cot. We'll see you there. Boom. That was my big break.
Starting point is 01:11:32 nice how was it in there crazy what you learn of people advocating for those people need a really question who they're advocating for you but the moment you walk in there you just feel like any sense of goodness in your body just leave and your body is just filled with emptiness and then you look at the prisoners in their eyes they're completely empty they're hopeless whatever wasn't possessed whatever had possessed them had taken control and they had been defeated
Starting point is 01:12:12 and they just look at you at this blank stare of just like nothingness like you look into their eyes and nothing you start walking around there and you just feel like literally nothing and then
Starting point is 01:12:29 you look at their tattoos they have they're just from top to top to bottom just full of MS-13 barrio DC-o and then actually they're like no Nick you can't interview anybody I was originally said to interview one of the the prisoners and then they're like we're running behind time we can't interview them but we're gonna ask the guys to take off their shirt so you can see all their tattoos and so I get like pretty close to almost face-to-face with one of these guys I'm like are you still proud to be a gangster it's like yeah I was like why
Starting point is 01:13:02 we really and then other guys in the back were just like we messed up but some of those people killed hundreds of people and uh it's just very eerie there's no lights very eerie to look at those guys in the eyes and uh those guys they have no darkness it's always lit up in that room it's just like a Costco essentially with prison cells and the lights stay on 24 seven they eat the same meal every single day they get no protein like they would get no meat like no pork or chicken all they get is a tortilla rice and beans and i think they get like yogurt or milk and um each and then so these guys are just like hopeless they get no books all they can do for a workout is once a day they get to take them out they go do their toe touches push-ups
Starting point is 01:13:56 sit-ups and they're all in white and then they're either get to do that or they get to listen to some preacher inside of that prison. But those guys deserved it. It killed and made it so families couldn't go from street to street to go visit their other family members. So that was very interesting to see that. And it was very cool to see how then you leave there, you leave there, then you go out to the streets of El Salvador
Starting point is 01:14:26 and people are just so excited to be living normal lives because for years they couldn't, they couldn't go out and go to the next neighborhood. They can go out and hang out with their neighborhood. So it's like the first time you've seen this group of people, a lot of these people in years, that they've never had that feeling of freedom. Wow.
Starting point is 01:14:45 Very cool. That is really cool, man. How about Paris? Paris said. What did you see in Paris? Well, Paris, I got attacked by scammers. There's scammers there are rampant. I mean, I didn't, I didn't.
Starting point is 01:15:02 I wasn't expecting too much of Paris. All of Europe's kind of messed up right now, just due to the facts of mass migration, and they're just very leftist there. So Paris, I wasn't expecting too much, but I didn't expect it as soon as I got off the subway just to see a bunch of scammers running down into the subway. It was kind of wild.
Starting point is 01:15:19 What was it? All these African migrants from Senegal and from East Africa, they go to Paris, and they start selling these Eiffel towers. And it's just this big scam. They're all working together on. this and you show a camera there they freak out and i was i brought my mom with me on this one too and it's so funny because i brought my mom and i have her like kind of like acting as like the bait to go talk to some of these scammers and uh the african scammers they got just so mad around
Starting point is 01:15:51 i was just filming and the guys came up to me and these guys are big they're like six foot they got big muscles i'm like getting them off moving around like nope nope get over here get away and then you also have the gypsies who are trying to get money from donations and while they're trying to get money from donations they got somebody who's trying to pickpocket you and this is at the Eiffel Tower one of the largest tourist destinations
Starting point is 01:16:13 in the entire world and they've just let it get controlled by scammers overtaken by scammers by foreign scammers that aren't even French what did you go there for to do a video on immigration inside of France to see what was going on because people kept telling me it was bad
Starting point is 01:16:30 and it was bad. I mean, the scammers, one, they had taken over there. And an entire, I think they call it districts in Paris, were completely, Paris people had been pushed out. The French people had been pushed out. Did you talk to anybody over there? Yeah, I did. What were they saying?
Starting point is 01:16:48 They're mad too, because they're like, us French, we can't even get houses here in Paris, but they put the migrants in the house this year in Paris. And how can anybody say this is good for us? So, it's just, and then in Europe, you go to... Is there anybody that's on the opposite, though? Is there anybody that is like, yeah, we want this. We want all these people here.
Starting point is 01:17:11 Yes. There is. Yes. Okay. In my video, I speak with, I meet up with this guy. He's kind of like a local journalist in the area. He kind of takes me around. And then it's always the white liberals who are sympathetic to this mass migration,
Starting point is 01:17:24 and they're sympathetic to criminals. And I'm talking to this girl who's in a college, probably. and we're right next to this migrant camp where all these migrants are just living underneath of the highway and I say, do you think it's good to bring masks? Do you think illegal immigration's good? Something along the lines of that.
Starting point is 01:17:45 She goes, yeah, we're all migrants in our own way. I'm like, so this is good. She's like, yes. And meanwhile, this is all happening. In illegal migration, it's one of the most inhumane things not only for the people who are originally from that country but from the migrants they bring over
Starting point is 01:18:02 a lot of these people get trafficked over a lot of them get assaulted a lot of them lose all their money a lot of them never see their family again yet these politicians want to keep walking them in in fact the EU
Starting point is 01:18:17 is finding countries like Poland and Hungary for not accepting migrants so it's all this coordinated attack on Western civilization. What would you say the percentage of people that are pro-migrant versus anti-R in France? I think it's getting probably more towards 50-50
Starting point is 01:18:39 because people originally, just like in Minnesota, people were acceptance of the refugees, they're happy to take in Somalians from the war-torn country, but then they start imposing their cultures, they start taking away what was once the life of the people from that area and they don't feel like it's their town anymore
Starting point is 01:18:59 they don't feel like they're the ones being represented so people are waking up that's why you also saw 3 million people go out to the streets of London to stop mass migration you're going to head over there did you go there? Yeah you were there yeah I was there for that
Starting point is 01:19:18 how was that? It was awesome what are those people saying they want their country back how are they going to get it back I don't know. You know what's interesting about UK is I just don't see anybody speaking up about anything, except our buddy J. Cal. Yeah, well, they imprison them.
Starting point is 01:19:42 What's that? They imprison them, like Tommy Robinson. That's why I'm asking you, you know, how are they going to do anything? Yeah, because, I mean, they're throwing people in jail for tweets. Like, every day, more than 10 people are getting put in jail for putting tweets out, putting post on X. and they tried to imprison Tommy Robinson multiple times and you might not like Tommy Robinson
Starting point is 01:20:02 he might not have a perfect past but man that guy knows what he's talking about when he saw his siblings and his aunt his family members getting raped by Muslim grooming gangs and he spoke out against it and the government tried to hide it the exact same thing we just saw in Minnesota
Starting point is 01:20:18 they're too afraid we call the racist and Islamophobes for the fraud that was happening and then they try to go and imprison Tommy Robinson, not just once, but they've done it multiple times. They put them in solitary confinement for more than 100 days for speaking about, for showing people what was happening inside his country. Man. And I know why it's happening.
Starting point is 01:20:39 Why is it happening? Just for purely votes and to keep people in power. And it's also, I kind of knew what was going to, I kind of knew this was going to happen in the United States after I'd gone to Europe a couple of times, do videos on what was happening because Tommy Robinson, I had to sit down interview with him. And he goes, the reason why the Labor Party, the Democrat Party in the UK, the reason why they're able to stay in power is because they'll tell these Muslims, they can go ahead, do whatever they want. A Muslim actually should be more conservative than they would be a liberal, because they don't stand for a lot of that progressive stuff. Not pro-GQ plus, they're pro-family, right?
Starting point is 01:21:19 And so he goes, well, it doesn't matter to them because they have Sharia. law. So that's above anything. And so if somebody goes to that mosque where a thousand people go, they tell the mosque leader, we're going to let you guys do whatever you want. Just make sure you guys vote for us. So then when it comes day to vote, the leader of the mosque, everyone in the mosque will then go to the voting centers and go vote for that candidate. That's why in London, the mayor's Muslim, a lot of the towns around it are Muslim as well. And they actually have courts that are practicing Sharia law. And so I kind of knew that was going to happen
Starting point is 01:21:58 inside of America as well. You have Mandami, for instance. Another thing Mandami advocated for when he was running was making child care more affordable. What do we know about child care now? These daycare centers, they're complete frauds. And so I kind of knew what was going to start happening. Now you're kind of starting to see it happen here in America.
Starting point is 01:22:17 And now after they kind of forced my hand to start giving my opinion, which I wasn't doing, they asked for it. people are loving it now that I'm kind of speaking out against stuff but I was originally just going to keep asking people questions but now they've kind of turned my active my now they've kind of turned my journalism into activism in a way where you forced my hand now I like I'm compelled to do this now be careful
Starting point is 01:22:42 don't let them force you into something that you think they don't want you to do like what like what you're doing yeah Well, they'd rather have an activist than a competitor. I can tell you that much right now. Well, I don't think sharing facts is wrong. I don't either. I think what you're doing is amazing. I'm just telling you be careful.
Starting point is 01:23:07 Yeah, I mean... They will manipulate you into doing something that you think they don't want you to do. You do it to piss them off, and then they fucking have you where they want, they want you. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Mm-hmm. I do need to be a little bit more careful. And it kind of stinks.
Starting point is 01:23:22 i'm only 23 years old like dang i got a lot more life to live i got like at least three more of my life to live well think about how much more wisdom you'll have when you're my age because you started at 23 yeah very true so but what do you got coming up next nick got a lot more stuff coming but uh i got something for you or what bad answer my bed very early very early on this but i've been hearing a lot of that a lot of these Dominion voting machines in the election fraud is coming from Venezuela. Have you heard this? Uh-uh.
Starting point is 01:24:01 I'm going to send you some stuff. Maybe you can dig in. I'm getting ready to dive in on that, I think. And it could be a huge, huge story. Really? I don't know if it's legit. I've just been hearing grumblings, so we're just... I would like to go to Venezuela.
Starting point is 01:24:16 Would you? Oh, yeah. Maybe we'll go together. Do you want to go? I'm down. I might. we'd do it now, but I think it'd be a great video. The Venezuelan people are very, like, they're very good people.
Starting point is 01:24:28 Like, some of the best people I've met, because I did, like, this two-year mission trip for our church. A lot of people I'd spend my time with were migrants from Venezuela, and they were just like some of the nicest people I'd ever met. Really? Yeah, I'd spent, I remember I had spent time with this one family, and when I left, the whole entire family was just bawling because I just spent so much time with them. And, like, I called them once they captured Maduro, and they're all crying,
Starting point is 01:24:50 and they're all, like, celebrating. And meanwhile, you have liberals in the street calling for Trump to for him to release Maduro. Oh, man. Like, you guys realize what he just did to that entire country, Maduro? You have people out at the border
Starting point is 01:25:03 selling bags of Venezuelan dollars because they mean absolutely nothing. Like, they're using their dollars for product, for material. Yeah. Like, it's, we're living in a crazy world, Sean. Just like, think about everything we got going on. We have Trump's our president. We have a, like, he, like, he is the character.
Starting point is 01:25:25 Like, he's a, he's an icon in a lot of ways as far as, like, being the billionaire that he is, having all his properties. He has a freaking castle to go to on the weekends, Mar-a-Lago. He's good buddies with the richest man in the world, Elon Musk. Elon Musk gave us free speech again on the internet. What I just did would not have been possible without Elon Musk. The video would have done well on YouTube. It would have got a million views. It wouldn't have created any change, though. But if it wasn't for X, you wouldn't have seen any of that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:58 Like, I wouldn't break into combat with this Tim Walts on X. Man, you really crushed it. Yeah, well, I had no other option. You crushed it. Yeah, it was crazy. Everyone was just coming after me, and I wasn't, I'd never gotten into any internet beef with anybody. They keep coming after me.
Starting point is 01:26:18 well, I guess I'm going to come back with you. Like, you got to fight fire with fire. Like, I finally understood why people like Trump and Elon always are out there talking and defending themselves because you just can't let someone slander your name for no reason. That's right. Especially if you're on the right. Just like you and your boy Crenshaw.
Starting point is 01:26:39 Hey. Can't let people fucking push you around in this world. No. Or they will just continue doing it. So good for you for standing up. yourself exactly way to fucking be man all right nick if you had three people to recommend for this show who would they be three people i would love to see naibu kelly that's somebody i want to personally interview as well uh i'm really interested in like leaders of the world uh i think nae
Starting point is 01:27:06 kelly would be really cool got to think have you done john fetterman i think he'd be interesting to talk to all right Because I think he's, like, one of the only Democrats who, like, has common sense right now. I think he'd be good. I don't know anything about George Bush, and I've never seen him do anything. I think that'd be interesting. That would be really interesting. I got a lot of questions for him.
Starting point is 01:27:38 Yeah, I'm sure with your past, you have a lot of questions with him. Oh, yeah. And I've never seen him do any interview. Like, my generation knows absolutely nothing about George Bush, other than 9-11. so i think that'd be an interesting conversation we've actually been kicking that around so maybe we will pursue that but well nick hope to see you again thanks again for the sweatshirt and uh let's go blow some shit up yes i'm excited thank you sure No matter where you're watching Sean Ryan's show from, if you get anything out of this, please like, comment, subscribe, and most importantly, share this everywhere you possibly can.
