Sign up at Disneyplus.com. All right, we've got to talk about,
Starting point is 00:00:31 Nick Shirley, this MAGA influencer who's almost like a king to the MAGA side right now. And he just went on another expedition looking for fraud. If you remember, this is the individual who apparently uncovered fraud in Minnesota. He started the whole conversation about this fraud with this video that not only was full of rampant misinformation and just BS, but also a bunch of claims that we've known about fraud that has been targeted, fraud that was prosecuted in, I think, 22 or 2020. for all that's been talked about forever. This is, like, I, it stuns me every single day, the things that we see in this country.
Starting point is 00:01:07 And the fact that this is like the right-wing king right now is crazy. It's just like a 22-year-old who I don't want to be mean, a little stupid. I mean, he's kind of a stupid guy. Okay, it's just the reality. We're going to hop into all this. Before we do, though, if you don't know who I am, if you clicked on this video and you're like, I thought this was Adam Mockler's channel, don't worry it is. Don't worry.
Starting point is 00:01:27 My name is Chris Mowrie. I do a daily show here on the Adam Mockler channel. also make sure you're subscribed, both me and Adam Mochler, write it down below. It would mean a lot if you checked out my channel. I just hit 150,000 subscribers. You guys have shown so much love on these videos, on my channel, and from the bottom of my heart. I hope you know I wake up every day, and I'm so grateful for each and every one of you,
Starting point is 00:01:47 for watching these videos, for clicking like, for clicking subscribe. It means the world, truly. All right. Now that you're subscribed and maybe hit like, let's hop right into this. This is my friend Isaiah Martin. Love Isaiah Martin. He perfectly explained what's going on. So let's start here and we'll talk a little more.
Starting point is 00:02:02 So Nick Shirley went to California to try to go find voter fraud. California's got some weird things going on. This time they claimed they found a dog that was registered to vote. You had Elon and all the Republican senators posting about this. This was their big discovery. Except that was already debunked. The woman that registered her dog to vote was literally a registered Republican and literally was already charged for this exact same thing.
Starting point is 00:02:26 Her ballot was rejected. It did not count and she was held accountable. Thank you, Nick, for proving that our voting system works. The only fraud that Nick Shirley is exposing is himself. Yeah, beautifully said. And again, it's the exact same. First of all, I appreciate Isaiah Martin for making this video. It's the same stuff we saw with Nick Shirley before, where he makes these claims.
Starting point is 00:02:45 Oh, look at this voter fraud I found. Look at this fraud in Minnesota. I found it's like, we've been prosecuting this. We've been talking about this. But yes, this is, this went so viral on Twitter. Before I read Governor Gavin Newsom's response, again, this has 22 million views and 98,000 likes on Twitter. Twitter is a right-wing, hell-a-hole, as many of you probably know. But it's disappointing to know that that's one of probably the most few tweets this week.
Starting point is 00:03:12 Finding this voter fraud. Governor Newsom responding, after hyping up massive fraud, for a month, Nick came up empty. So he posted a video about a Republican who committed voter fraud, got caught, and was prosecuted. Slow Shirley is welcome to extend his visit. and enrolling California's free community college, he clearly and needs it. Honestly, I think this being a great response from Governor Newsom's team. I'm actually going to retweet it right now, live. Michael Irfano, you may have seen on this channel. For those of you who don't remember, quote, independent journalist Nick Shirley is the same guy who once paid Hispanic day laborers
Starting point is 00:03:47 to hold up pro-Biden signs in front of the White House so he could make a video about it. I mean, this guy is just like a massive grifter, right? We have people, Biden, 2024, Mr. Biden, best president. Like this guy, Nick Shirley's just like so disgusting. Migrant for Biden. And if we read the article attached here, Washington, New York, one late afternoon day in May, a half dozen Hispanic day laborers were paid $20 each to parade in front of the White House on camera holding signs with slogans like, I love Biden, I need work permit for my family. Again, Nick Shirley, so effing, just disgusting. The stunt was orchestrated by Nick Shirley, a pro-Trump online influencer who often asked migrants on camera if they support them.
Starting point is 00:04:25 Democratic President Joe Biden or think he made it easier for them to come to the U.S. So again, literally just like astroturfing these things and pretending things are happening that aren't. One of my favorite clips from Nick Shirley going back a little bit, again, to kind of reemphasize how dumb this shit is. And I, excuse my language, I just don't understand why this is the poster child for MAGA. I mean, I guess I do, because we fall in this low. I mean, this is like the only, this actually, maybe now what I'm thinking about, this is
Starting point is 00:04:51 it makes perfect sense that this is the poster child for MAGA because it's just so dumb and stupid and ridiculous. CNN actually pressed him on his original claims of fraud in Minnesota that I have tweeted out, I think Nick Shirley Holta, at least some responsibility for the two Americans who were executed on camera, Nicole Good and Alex Pretty. Because, you know, the Trump administration surged officers, surged all these people to Minnesota after this video. And that's, again, so indicative of where we're at the White House paying, you know, literally making decisions like that based on some 22-year-old YouTuber, but they did it because the video went viral and it's good for them politically. Oh, let's take cameras and go harass people who don't look
Starting point is 00:05:29 like me and you. Take a look at this video of CNN pressing Nick Shirley. So good. CNN, can we talk to you? This is mega-yutuber Nick Shirley. Back at a daycare in Minnesota, he alleged was a fraudulent facility in a now viral video. If you are going to say, this is a left or right issue. But no, fraud is fraud. I'm not out here trying to put a twist on things. Shirley's viral video released over the weekend in which he was a lot of the video, he says he's uncovering tens of millions of dollars in fraud at Minneapolis daycares run by the Somali community was retweeted by Elon Musk and vice president J.D. Vance. In the video, Shirley tries to open locked doors and talk to people at various dayers he claims are frauds. Did you come during their 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 that blacked outdoors, they can't give you any information. You call that number, no one answers. I wasn't trying to go inside. And there should be a way for
Starting point is 00:06:30 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 should be a reception. No. Every daycare is locked. And so, okay, you bring you a fair point. Then, but why? I just want to point out, I'll let this play. That is this CNN clip. This CNN clip, shout out to this CNN, this act. an actual journalist on the ground here at CNN. Like, in under, how long is it? In under a minute, 15 seconds, he's essentially debunked his entire video.
Starting point is 00:07:01 And he just concedes to the point, which again is so obvious, if I had a child and they were out of daycare and I learned that the door during business hours was unlocked and or people could like the windows weren't blacked out. Like people could just peer through. I would pull my kid out of that daycare. And when this is explained to Nick Shirley, I guess for the first time that, yeah,
Starting point is 00:07:20 they tend to not just let, if you just pound on the door and you're like, I want to come in to see the kids, they're probably going to say no. When that's all explained to him real time, he's like, I guess it's a good point. Ridiculous. They actually give me information how to enroll a child. Federal law enforcement has been investigating fraud in Minnesota for several years. Both Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI director Cash Patel said on social media, they've indicted dozens of defendants. DHS has posted multiple videos of agents, they say, are conducting a massive fraud.
Starting point is 00:07:50 investigation. Do you think that federal law enforcement hasn't done enough? I mean, they would say, look, these fraud cases have been going on, but they've already done like 80 indictments, the cases have been going on, you know, for years? And why did I show up one day in Minnesota and go to all these daycares, no children? They're receiving millions of dollars. We encourage nearly a hundred million, 110 million dollars in fraud in one day. 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 the, 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 CNN is looking into
Starting point is 00:08:26 shirley's claims hi my name's Whitney wild I'm a correspondent for CNN we reached out to several of the daycares featured in the now viral video only one daycare facility answered and said they are a legitimate business have you seen that the videos you know purporting that some of these daycares don't have kids inside Minnesota Republicans say despite the new focus from the Trump administration, they have been sounding the alarm on fraud for years. You know, we have talked about fraud. We have gotten stories. We have, we've tried to push this forward every way that we can. At the daycare where Shirley showed back up, a stream of children walk inside. You're saying that this is a fraudulent daycare. There's kids being dropped off right now.
Starting point is 00:09:06 Yes. The commissioner of children literally said a week ago, this place was closed. Did you know that? They're showing face right now. They're showing face, right? They bust in. I mean, these people are doing. They're showing face. They just got random kids. just to make it look real. And again, I believe that daycare there in front of. I think it might have been CBS. They essentially did their own kind of like investigation. And they came and they talked to the owners.
Starting point is 00:09:27 And the owners let them in. There was kids there. And they were like, yeah, the reason here's the security footage of him showing up, we weren't open when he showed up. And it's like, Jesus, this is so easily, easily debunkable. I also want to point out in terms of fighting the fraud has been done. The lead prosecutor who's prosecuted a lot of this fraud, who has been very critical of Democrats in the state, has showed up on Fox News a lot over the years,
Starting point is 00:09:50 has said Tim Walts isn't doing enough. He's, I think, described the fraud as like endless. Unfortunately, I guess for this crew, they don't talk about it ever. But that individual recently resigned, like in the last two or three weeks because he was pressured by Trump's Department of Justice to go after Renee Good's partner to investigate and potentially prosecute Renee Good's partner when he pushed back and said, well, I don't have evidence of like that. Can you explain why I would do that? that. They said, do it anyways. He said, I'll only do it if you open an investigation into the ICE officer who executed Renee Good. I will only do it if you open an investigation into that
Starting point is 00:10:24 officer and I will investigate Renee Good's partner. And the DOJ said no. So he resigned. They don't want to talk about that. The hyperpolization of Donald Trump's DOJ trying to indict to Renaud's partner as opposed to, you know, looking into the ICE officer who killed Renee Good. But whatever, it's just, it's maddening. Another video, Nick Shirley, just getting pressed in public and then just, you know, folding under pressure, just not having anything to say. Take a listen. Anything, we see you. We see you.
Starting point is 00:10:51 We see you. We want you out of here. I don't want you here making up anything for your social enforcers to try to attack more people. If you want to see fraud, go to Fels Point, go to Hamden. Stop targeting us. Stop targeting us. It's not about fit to know because you can go and go to the doctors who started the opioid crisis. Why don't you do that?
Starting point is 00:11:11 Why don't you go to the source? Instead of trying to harass the people who are out here. here just trying to live because you have an agenda and I'm not interested in your agenda. Man, this creator right here, this username, so much more courage than Nick Shirley will ever have a true American right there. I love whoever that individual was. And again, the jokes on social media really flying. This one's in bad days, but somebody said, wow, Nick Shirley dead at 23. Poor dude starved. Sorry, it's not funny. Poor dude star to death in a revolving door. I mean, It's a dumb joke, but essentially saying, you know, he's not very smart. Regardless, let me know what you think of all this in the comments down below. And, you know, poor taste, joke. You know, Nick Shirley has genuinely, again, I firmly believe responsible for getting people killed. He has been responsible for millions of people, thousands of people, whatever the number is getting harassed in Minnesota, these protests, like, he shares a massive responsibility for that. And you have a responsibility with a platform to not be doing this garbage. Let me know what you think of all this in the comments down below. I
