Starting with prank and shock content as a teenager, including a 2019 video about flying to New York without parental permission at age 16, Shirley transitioned to political and cultural commentary, gaining prominence for covering protests, immigration issues, and government accountability. A former high school student from Utah who served a two-year LDS mission in Santiago, Chile, he has amassed over 1 million YouTube subscribers and hundreds of millions of views across platforms.

  Nick Shirley. Welcome to the show, man.

• 1:08Speaker 05

  Beautiful hoodie.

• 1:11Shawn Ryan?

  Thanks for the new wardrobe. Love this.

• 1:14Speaker 05

  It's awesome. We're gonna...

• 1:15Shawn Ryan?

  Quality Learning Center. 1-800-FRAUD. What's this from?

• 1:20Speaker 05

  We're gonna be leering a lot today.

• 1:21Shawn Ryan?

  What inspired this?

• 1:22Speaker 05

  A lot of fraud happening in Minnesota.

• 1:24Shawn Ryan?

  So, hey, hey, just for anybody that's listening that knows Nick Shirley, which is pretty much the whole world at this point, he's selling these amazing hoodies. So head over to where?

• 1:35Speaker 05

  ShirleyDefense.com.

• 1:36Shawn Ryan?

  ShirleyDefense.com. And get yourself a Quality Learning Center hoodie. But, uh, man, I've been watching you, I feel like I've been watching you for about a year and a half, maybe. And, uh, me and my team got in touch with you, what, about a... I think about a year ago, and wow.

• 1:57Speaker 05

  Yeah, it's been quite the ride.

• 2:00Shawn Ryan?

  You got some balls, man. So, this whole thing started, I mean, I think when I first saw you, you, I believe you were, you were maybe in California or Washington, or maybe Oregon, I can't remember, but you're running around talking to, talking to addicted street people, basically, fentanyl users.

• 2:20Speaker 05

  Yeah, I've done a lot of work, especially around like the fentanyl crisis in America. Between fentanyl, the border.

• 2:28Shawn Ryan?

  You've been everywhere.

• 2:29Speaker 05

  Been everywhere.

• 2:30Shawn Ryan?

  That's just where I first found you. But, um, you know, but, so this latest thing, the Somali learning centers in Minnesota, I mean,

• 2:41Shawn Ryan?

  wow.

• 2:43Shawn Ryan?

  Just to start off, I mean, do you realize what you've done?

• 2:48Speaker 05

  I didn't realize what I had done until I posted the video and it received over a hundred million views.

• 2:54Shawn Ryan?

  What do you think you've done?

• 2:55Speaker 05

  I think I just kind of show people how obvious fraud is inside the United States. Because people always talk about fraud.

• 3:02Shawn Ryan?

  Nick, you've done a lot more than exposed fraud, man. That's huge. It's amazing. And I, it's, we're gonna get all into that, but dude, you've exposed major fraud. Because of that, I think we're likely gonna see a politician held accountable and said, and on top of that, how many, how many major media conglomerates are in the country? We got Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, News Nation, ABC, what am I missing?

• 3:42Speaker 05

  You got NPR, PBS.

• 3:44Shawn Ryan?

  NPR, PBS, billions in billions in billions, like.

• 3:51Shawn Ryan?

  For all these companies and 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, it's a, they are a complete joke. Every single fucking one of them.

• 4:08Speaker 05

  Yeah, they really are. And then when it comes down to investigating the fraud, instead of investigating the fraud, they investigated me.

• 4:14Shawn Ryan?

  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 in general?

• 4:28Speaker 05

  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 it can be seen by the entire world. You don't actually need to go talk to the senior editor at the, inside the boardroom to get the video approved to go post. You can simply go out by yourself, film the video, go ahead and post it. And then let the world make their own analysis on what they've just seen.

• 5:01Shawn Ryan?

  You know, uh, me and my producer Jeremy were talking about how to make you money before you got here. Cause I was like, man, this kid needs a business underneath them. And, uh, we were actually, we didn't have time to do it, but we wanted to print up hoodies. Cause you know, you're the hoodie guy now. And, um, we wanted to print, print hoodies. It said, turns out you can just do shit with meaning, all you need to do is just show up and do it. But, um, man, like congratulations, seriously, congra, you've done a lot more than just expose fraud. You've exposed legacy corporate media. You are very possibly going to be one of the first people to ever actually uncover something

• 5:46Shawn Ryan?

  that actually holds a politician accountable. I mean, we just saw, didn't he just announce that he's not running for reelection today?

• 5:52Speaker 05

  Yeah, he dropped out from reelection.

• 5:54Shawn Ryan?

  How's that feel? That's you, man. That's you.

• 5:57Speaker 05

  Yesterday, he was calling me a delusional conspiracy theorist and then today he dropped out.

• 6:01Shawn Ryan?

  Oh man, Tim Walz, fucking career politician, picking on a 23 year old kid. What a tough guy.

• 6:07Speaker 05

  Yeah, what a tough guy. What a fraudster.

• 6:10Shawn Ryan?

  Have you ever met him?

• 6:11Speaker 05

  No.

• 6:11Shawn Ryan?

  Would you like to meet him?

• 6:12Speaker 05

  Oh yeah, I'd love to meet him.

• 6:13Shawn Ryan?

  I'd love to fucking meet him too.

• 6:15Speaker 05

  I tried to go to his office, but he wouldn't let me.

• 6:17Shawn Ryan?

  Did you really?

• 6:18Speaker 05

  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 why, how come you're allowing this to happen?" And the guy who's like running his desk was like, "Hmmmm, no, we just can't talk today."

• 6:37Shawn Ryan?

  What, what questions were you gonna ask him? Anything like, specific that you were just dying to ask him?

• 6:42Speaker 05

  Yeah, cuz 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 of Minnesota, by law, you have to notify the authorities that there is laws being broken inside of your state. And he didn't do that. So there's like a statute that he's reliable to tell the government about, like a law, but he didn't do it. And he knew the crime was happening, but he kept letting it go on.

• 7:11Shawn Ryan?

  How do you know he knew?

• 7:12Speaker 05

  Cuz he, he said in a press conference, "Organized crime is for, is why some of this stuff has happened." And so he knew about organized crime, but he never did anything about it.

• 7:20Shawn Ryan?

  Hmm, hmm.

• 7:21Speaker 05

  So he, he admitted to it.

• 7:24Shawn Ryan?

  Do you think he's gonna be held accountable? I mean, if you look at Polymarket, Polymarket's 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, that we'll see somebody held accountable or charged for the daycare fraud. 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?

• 8:06Speaker 05

  I think they will. It might take a little bit more time cuz 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 Ilhan Omar, or if it's just one of the fraudsters who's running these daycares. We want the evidence to be so solidified that they can't 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. And then they also did charge somebody just a few months ago, who was a Somali, for $7.2 million, 7.2 or 7.6 for Medicaid fraud.

• 8:48Speaker 05

  But after being charged and found guilty, the judge overturned it and let the guy walk.

• 8:53Shawn Ryan?

  What?

• 8:54Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 8:58Speaker 05

  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 did we expose fraud, but we also exposed how corrupt and how that government is not working for the people, for the Minnesotans.

• 9:12Shawn Ryan?

  Well, Nick, let me give you a, we're gonna dive into this pretty deep. Let me give you an introduction here. Nick Shirley, a bold 23-year-old independent journalist who's taken the internet by storm with your fearless, on-the-ground 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 rocked up over 126 million views. Literally broke the internet. 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.

• 9:57Shawn Ryan?

  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 gotta ask him if he's carrying, which I did. You're not. So now you are.

• 10:18Speaker 05

  No way.

• 10:18Shawn Ryan?

  But, so I got you a little something, me and Jason.

• 10:23Shawn Ryan?

  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.

• 10:33Speaker 05

  No way.

• 10:35Shawn Ryan?

  So that is the Sig Sauer P365 Legion. Don't point it at yourself.

• 10:42Speaker 05

  I know, I know.

• 10:43Shawn Ryan?

  But um, it's unloaded, so you're good. Holds seventeen rounds in the magazine, plus one in the pipe, so that's eighteen rounds. They got their brand new, uh, carry optic on there, 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.

• 11:09Speaker 05

  Wow, thank you.

• 11:10Shawn Ryan?

  You're welcome, man. You're welcome.

• 11:12Speaker 05

  It's a lot, actually.

• 11:12Shawn Ryan?

  So.

• 11:13Speaker 05

  I've never been gifted something like this, so thank you.

• 11:15Shawn Ryan?

  Well, now you have. You're welcome.

• 11:18Speaker 05

  This is pretty epic.

• 11:19Shawn Ryan?

  And if you think that's cool, you'll really think this shit's cool.

• 11:23Speaker 05

  Nay, the gummy bears.

• 11:25Shawn Ryan?

  Vigilance League gummy bears, buddy. Legal in all fifty states, made right here in the USA in Michigan. Maybe you can, uh, hand those out to Somali toddlers that are in daycare.

• 11:37Speaker 05

  Maybe.

• 11:38Shawn Ryan?

  In the Learning Center.

• 11:40Speaker 05

  Wow, thank you so much, Sean.

• 11:42Shawn Ryan?

  Yeah, you're welcome, man. You're welcome. And then, lastly, before we get on with the interview, I have a Patreon account. If you don't have one, you should. But I've turned this, uh, 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 a question. They were fucking pumped that you're here. So this is from Brad Campbell.

• 12:06Shawn Ryan?

  "Nick, it takes courage to take, 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?"

• 12:27Speaker 05

  Yeah, I think when you see just the corruption, when it's just so obvious, for instance, with the border, I saw people 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 a racist or Islamophobe for saying that 89% of the population's 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 some, 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

• 13:09Speaker 05

  people what's actually happening. And I do have plans to go to other locations in 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.

• 13:31Shawn Ryan?

  Been there, buddy.

• 13:32Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 13:33Shawn Ryan?

  It never goes away, once it's here.

• 13:36Speaker 05

  Now I have that, and it's just harder to plan stuff, but it's necessary, so I will continue to do it.

• 13:41Shawn Ryan?

  Good, man. Good. It's important. It's really important, what you're doing. I am curious, have you seen, 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 more and more stuff?

• 14:05Speaker 05

  Yeah, I think, like, usually, I'm always kind of ahead of the stuff. So, like, for instance, I was ahead of this fraud stuff. 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 going knocking on daycares. Like, I did all my due diligence with the man, David, before I went and did it.

• 14:23Shawn Ryan?

  Doesn't sound like you actually knocked on any daycare, so.

• 14:26Speaker 05

  Me? I mean, we've knocked on, we try to talk to people, but...

• 14:32Speaker 05

  No one was there.

• 14:33Shawn Ryan?

  If there's no kids, is it a daycare?

• 14:34Speaker 05

  Yeah, well, that's true. There wasn't any daycares. It was just buildings.

• 14:39Shawn Ryan?

  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.

• 14:54Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 14:55Shawn Ryan?

  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?

• 15:06Speaker 05

  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 mosques are popping up everywhere inside of Minnesota. Christian churches are turning into mosque. 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?

• 15:28Shawn Ryan?

  Who's everybody?

• 15:30Speaker 05

  All, all these Minnesotans, they started reaching out to me and they knew I was in their state.

• 15:34Shawn Ryan?

  You just went up there to talk about the, the rise of

• 15:40Speaker 05

  The rise of Islam.

• 15:41Shawn Ryan?

  Muslim church, the Muslim religion in, in, in Minnesota.

• 15:44Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 15:44Shawn Ryan?

  And talking about churches being converted into mosque. I mean, are you seeing, was there a lot of that happening?

• 15:51Speaker 05

  A lot of it, yes. I mean, there's entire communities that have been completely pushed out by Somali communities. Like there's places like Cedar Riverside, for instance, right next to a college. There used to be a bar, bar there called 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, anybody who's not Somali. They've pushed them outside of their communities.

• 16:18Shawn Ryan?

  What's it look like inside those communities? Is it clean?

• 16:21Speaker 05

  No, it's not clean at all. You have

• 16:24Shawn Ryan?

  Is it safe?

• 16:25Speaker 05

  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 all 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 tried to attack us and they're about ready to punch me and smash my camera. And then I had 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 I had this like six foot four Somali 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.

• 17:08Shawn Ryan?

  No shit, so they're pissed that you're...

• 17:11Speaker 05

  There's entire Somali gangs that control these locations.

• 17:16Shawn Ryan?

  What are the names of the gangs, do you know?

• 17:18Speaker 05

  I don't know the names of the gangs.

• 17:19Shawn Ryan?

  How big are the gangs?

• 17:21Speaker 05

  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. And whether it be 10 friends, 20 friends, 30 friends, or entire organization.

• 17:38Speaker 05

  Kind of varies depending on cities here in the United States, but

• 17:42Speaker 05

  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.

  How, so who was telling you, you're going around looking at it,

• 21:05Shawn Ryan?

  how Minnesota's changed and everybody's telling you to look into the fraud. Who's, I mean, when did it start?

• 21:13Speaker 05

  Yeah, so I put on my Instagram story that I 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 centers next, right next door to the house I'm trying to sell and I can't even tell the seller, the, I can't even tell the buyer that the house next to it is a adult daycare center or else I'll be breaking a law."

• 21:40Shawn Ryan?

  What, breaking a law?

• 21:41Speaker 05

  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.

• 21:54Shawn Ryan?

  Breaking a law?

• 21:56Speaker 05

  Yeah, like, they cannot, or, and she's, in the government, for instance, if a person is a, um, like a PDF or a predator, the, the state's not, it's not, it's not necessary for them to tell the neighbor next door that they're moving in or that if that real estate, real estate agent is then selling that house, she can't tell the client next, who's living next door.

• 22:24Shawn Ryan?

  Holy shit.

• 22:25Speaker 05

  And their property taxes have gone up a ton too in Minnesota.

• 22:32Speaker 05

  Like, there's a lot, like, the corruption's really bad.

• 22:34Shawn Ryan?

  You looked into that law? Is that a law or was she mistaken?

• 22:38Speaker 05

  I just took her for a word.

• 22:40Shawn Ryan?

  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,

• 22:49Speaker 05

  Well, these are private ones. They have like private daycares and private adult daycares, private home health cares and like, they're just normal houses. 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, 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, uh, home healthcare.

• 23:24Shawn Ryan?

  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?

• 23:31Speaker 05

  At least 50% of the population.

• 23:32Shawn Ryan?

  So this is, this is, this is common scuttlebutt talk around the town, at the barber shop, in the restaurant. People are bitching about this in grocery stores. Everybody knows. This is like, common knowledge. It's the rest of the country that didn't know.

• 23:47Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 23:47Shawn Ryan?

  So this is, police departments had to know about it. The governor, everybody knows about it.

• 23:55Speaker 05

  Yes. I mean, Tim Walz said in 2019, he was fighting fraud. In 2017, there was videos of people bringing in millions of dollars through the TSA airport, and moving that money back to Somalia. 2015, there's FBI 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 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 gets 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.

• 24:40Shawn Ryan?

  So, hold, hold, how did, when did you make the switch? When did you go from looking at churches that converted into mosques to, when did, when did, I mean, where did you start? Who's David?

• 24:50Speaker 05

  Mm-hmm. So, I did that video back in June. I was just there for two days. I couldn't really make a video. 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'd been doing my own research, trying to make this video, and it took me a couple of months. I wasn't really getting too far. Like, I needed the physical numbers from the state Capitol. 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, someone from inside the Capitol has given me this information, and there is nobody inside these daycares. Come to Minnesota, and we'll, and I'll help you expose the fraud." And I usually don't respond to DMs, because I get so many of them.

• 25:34Speaker 05

  And I was like, "All right, send me your number. Let's hop on a phone call." So I get done with the gym, I give this guy a call, and he is 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.

• 25:51Shawn Ryan?

  How many years has this guy been diving into this subject?

• 25:54Speaker 05

  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 kept, 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 for years, but

• 26:28Shawn Ryan?

  They had been?

• 26:29Speaker 05

  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

• 26:38Shawn Ryan?

  Holy shit.

• 26:38Speaker 05

  New audiences. I mean, there's a video from 2024.

• 26:43Shawn Ryan?

  But this is where the news always starts. It always starts at the local level.

• 26:47Speaker 05

  Mm-hmm.

• 26:47Shawn Ryan?

  It starts, 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.

• 26:58Speaker 05

  Yes, and Tim Walz was also selected to be Vice President. And within just a day, he raised the most money than any other candidate in history.

• 27:09Shawn Ryan?

  Actually, I didn't know that.

• 27:10Speaker 05

  Yeah, you can look that up. Kamala Harris picked him. There's actually really no reason to pick Tim Walz. Nobody really knew him. He's a weird guy who vouches for tampons in boys bathrooms. And he ends up raising the most amount of money than any other candidate in US history within a day for a campaign.

• 27:29Shawn Ryan?

  Where do you think that came from?

• 27:31Speaker 05

  Maybe a little bit of the daycares.

• 27:34Speaker 05

  Like, it's just so obvious. And so I really do hope they crack down on it and like prosecute Tim Walz.

• 27:43Shawn Ryan?

  So where did you guys start? You and David. You go up to Minnesota, you meet David, where do you go?

• 27:48Speaker 05

  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.

• 27:55Shawn Ryan?

  How many daycares are out there?

• 27:57Speaker 05

  Oh, if you drive around Minneapolis, within just a few blocks, you'll start seeing adult daycares, daycares, autism centers, home healthcare places, transportation vehicles, like the whole entire city of Minneapolis, like is plagued by this fraud.

• 28:14Shawn Ryan?

  Are you serious?

• 28:16Speaker 05

  You can't go a mile without finding one.

• 28:19Shawn Ryan?

  Wow.

• 28:20Speaker 05

  You'll wonder, why are there all these daycares?

• 28:22Shawn Ryan?

  How many did you go to?

• 28:23Speaker 05

  Yeah, one day we went to

• 28:28Speaker 05

  seven, but inside of some of those locations, there were three or four inside of the same one, so.

• 28:32Shawn Ryan?

  You went in one building, I think, wasn't there like 10 daycares in one building?

• 28:37Speaker 05

  In one building, there was 14 healthcare companies, in the other one, there's 22 healthcare companies, mixed with daycares. And then in one building specifically, there were three daycares inside the same building, all receiving money from the government.

• 28:55Shawn Ryan?

  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, are there three daycares all within suite 102?

• 29:09Speaker 05

  Both.

• 29:12Shawn Ryan?

  You gotta be shitting me.

• 29:13Speaker 05

  In my video, I go inside one building with, I think it was 14, and they all have these, they had their own rooms. But for instance, in room 7C, there were three healthcare companies operating inside the same one.

• 29:28Speaker 05

  And if you're trying to make a profit, why would you have all these competitors surrounding you?

• 29:37Speaker 05

  It doesn't make any sense.

• 29:38Shawn Ryan?

  Cause it doesn't matter.

• 29:39Speaker 05

  Cause it doesn't matter, and nobody's checking up on them, and even if they do get checked, for instance, Quality Leering Center, they have received over 90 violations over just the past few years, yet they keep giving them 1.9 million dollars a year? And then the lady has photos with her and Elon, Elon Omar?

• 30:01Speaker 05

  And then that same lady's also 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?

• 30:16Speaker 05

  It's just complete fraud and for them to come after me. Like, I actually never even gave my opinions on the internet. However, my handler was forced to start giving my opinions because they came after me, they came after my family, they doxed, they doxed my entire family. How did they come after you? Be specific. Well, they tried to come after me, they tried to debunk all my, my whole entire story. They then... Who's "they"? The, all the news. Would you, just get more specific. CNN, who within CNN? CBS, um... 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.

• 30:52Speaker 07

  Did you come during their normal operating hours when you came to visit?

• 30:56Speaker 05

  I came at 11:00 AM, 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 blocked outdoors, they can't give you any information. You call that number, no one answers. I wasn't trying to go inside. And they, 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.

• 31:18Speaker 07

  But surely you don't think a daycare should just be unlocked? You shouldn't be able to just walk into a daycare?

• 31:22Speaker 05

  It shouldn't be a reception.

• 31:24Speaker 07

  No, they, every daycare is locked.

• 31:28Speaker 05

  And so, okay, you bring up a fair point, then why can't they actually give me information on how to enroll a child?

• 31:33Speaker 07

  How do you know that all the allegations that you're making are true?

• 31:36Speaker 05

  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.

• 31:42Speaker 07

  We're coming, so we can make our own analysis? Are you 100% sure you're true?

• 31:45Speaker 05

  Yeah, I am 100% sure I'm true.

• 31:47Speaker 07

  You're saying that this is a fraudulent daycare? There's kids being dropped off right now.

• 31:50Speaker 05

  Yes, the commissioner of children literally said a week ago this place was closed. They're showing face right now. 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." And I actually ended up looking very good because I said, "Well, yeah, I'm sure, uh, I gave you guys the 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.

• 32:30Shawn Ryan?

  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. I don't, I mean, they're spot and sold on Legacy Media, but they, when, they will fucking die with the baby boomer generation. It will be a glorious death. I can't wait.

• 32:56Speaker 05

  Yeah. I don't know who's even watching, who's gonna continue to watch them after my grandparents are gone.

• 33:02Shawn Ryan?

  That's what I'm telling you. They're gonna die with the baby boomer generation.

• 33:05Speaker 05

  Like Fox News is probably the only one where I feel like they're, they provide actually, like their show's a good quality show. If you watch CNN, it's very boring. Fox News at least keeps it interesting for you to watch. Um, but it's gonna 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. Um, each, each organization has their own bias, but like, you watch CNN, it's so boring. 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,

• 33:46Speaker 05

  they treat you a lot better as far as like bringing you on. Um, they like make sure you're good to go. They check you out. All these other ones are like, alright, hop on the Zoom. And, okay, sound's going. And then after you finish your shot, they just like drop ya. You don't even know what to do next, but Fox is the most professional by far.

• 34:05Shawn Ryan?

  You're leaps and bounds ahead of all of them, man. Congratulations.

• 34:09Speaker 05

  I'd like to think so. Thank you.

• 34:10Shawn Ryan?

  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 did you strike out before you actually found one?

• 34:21Speaker 05

  We went to the first one, Mako Childcare. And Mako is also connected with another childcare inside the same building. So, inside the same building, two daycare centers were receiving separate money. And I thought we were just gonna go and open the door and talk to the lady at the reception about how can I enroll my, 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. The 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.

• 35:03Speaker 05

  And finally, Somali pulls up and I ask her, where are the children at? Where can we talk to somebody about enrolling our child? She goes, I don't know. She had never even seen him.

• 35:15Shawn Ryan?

  Do you know how much money's been sucked out of the Minnesota government for this stuff? Is this all state funding?

• 35:21Speaker 05

  It's state and federal funding. So CCAP funding is Child Care Assistance Program, which is state and federal money. That's why you saw the HHS freeze 185 million dollars in funding. Because a lot, some of 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 nine billion dollars.

• 35:45Shawn Ryan?

  Nine billion dollars. 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 nine billion dollars to fake fucking daycare accounts so that they can send it right back to Somalia. We're sending 40 million dollars a week, up to 87 million dollars a week to the Taliban, which I fought for fucking damn near, well, about 14 years. And the country bought for about, what, 21, 22, 20 something years?

• 36:19Speaker 05

  Yeah, it's a disgrace. And it's such a slap in the face of all of us.

• 36:23Shawn Ryan?

  It is. I mean, what do you think about, you've seen all the hype around this tax strike, haven't you? What do you think about that?

• 36:31Speaker 05

  I mean, what the Boston Tea Party do, they tax, they had a, they did what they did over just a few percentages. And we're paying upwards of, some people are paying 50%. So obviously-

• 36:43Shawn Ryan?

  And none of it's coming back.

• 36:45Speaker 05

  And none of it's coming back.

• 36:46Shawn Ryan?

  It's all going to some other country and some other fucking land. And it sure as shit isn't coming here. That's very obvious.

• 36:55Speaker 05

  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.

• 37:10Shawn Ryan?

  Do you think this tax, do you think this tax strike is gonna, do you think it's gonna spread?

• 37:15Speaker 05

  I don't know, we'll see.

• 37:16Shawn Ryan?

  Do you want it to get spread?

• 37:18Speaker 05

  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 gonna put you in jail.

• 37:25Shawn Ryan?

  Well, they can't arrest all of us. Unfortunately for people like us, you're gonna get arrested, I'm gonna get arrested, and anybody else with a microphone is gonna get arrested, but...

• 37:33Speaker 05

  Yeah. I hope maybe it makes the government listen.

• 37:38Speaker 05

  And tell, tells the people, like, tells them, "Okay, we gotta 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, because the fraudsters complained the loudest.

• 37:51Shawn Ryan?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 37:53Speaker 05

  And, I mean, he, he, he, he tried to do America such a service and by going, cutting out some of this fraud, and what'd they do to him? They burned down his businesses, they attacked him, and they tried everything possible to try to stop the man.

• 38:07Shawn Ryan?

  Yeah, yeah, man. Well, how much, what do you think's gonna, have you seen, uh, the Minnesota government do anything? Yet, other than Tim Walz?

• 38:20Speaker 05

  They're all very upset.

• 38:21Shawn Ryan?

  Drop out of reelection?

• 38:22Speaker 05

  They're all very upset. There are some people inside of Minnesota. For instance, there is a fraud committee, and they're trying, they've labeled 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.

• 38:51Shawn Ryan?

  How are the ma, how are the mainstream media outlets attacking you? What are they saying? What are they doing?

• 38:56Speaker 05

  You'll notice the first thing they say is, "MAGA YouTuber, right-wing influencer, conservative."

• 39:03Shawn Ryan?

  That's the first thing they do is put you in a bucket?

• 39:06Speaker 05

  Anything but journalist.

• 39:09Speaker 05

  They'll say quite literally anything, 23 year old, like, okay, cool, I just did a better job than you at 23. But they try, they'll try to say conservative, MAGA, Trump. It's like, no, I just showed you guys the fact.

• 39:23Shawn Ryan?

  All the buzzwords.

• 39:24Speaker 05

  Yeah. It's actually pretty funny, because I'm like, you guys are so stupid. You have the opportunity to maybe show people you're a little bit more legit.

• 39:33Shawn Ryan?

  Yeah.

• 39:34Speaker 05

  Instead, you're taking the fraud. Yeah, they're, they're taking.

• 39:38Shawn Ryan?

  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.

• 39:47Speaker 05

  Yeah, I, I agree.

• 39:50Shawn Ryan?

  But, well, what else? So they could, because I thought they were calling you racist, all that kind of stuff, too. Bust out the race card.

• 40:00Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 40:00Shawn Ryan?

  Real original.

• 40:01Speaker 05

  Yes. Tim Walz has called me a white supremacist. He's called me a delusional conspiracy theorist.

• 40:07Shawn Ryan?

  Are you a white supremacist?

• 40:09Speaker 05

  No.

• 40:09Shawn Ryan?

  Are you sure?

• 40:10Speaker 05

  I'm sure.

• 40:11Shawn Ryan?

  How do you know?

• 40:12Speaker 05

  I just know.

• 40:13Shawn Ryan?

  Okay.

• 40:13Speaker 05

  I'm not a white supremacist.

• 40:14Shawn Ryan?

  All right.

• 40:15Speaker 05

  I got black friends, too.

• 40:16Shawn Ryan?

  Right on. Me, too.

• 40:18Speaker 05

  So for them to say that, it's just like.

• 40:21Shawn Ryan?

  It's ridiculous.

• 40:22Speaker 05

  Yeah, they're trying to do everything they can, for instance, by calling me a MAGA influencer, calling me a right wing influencer, calling me, uh, they say anti-immigration, which, yes, I am anti-illegal immigration. The word's illegal. Uh, anti-Islam, uh, then they call me, uh, conspiracy theorist. They're trying to do everything. They call 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.

• 40:51Shawn Ryan?

  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

• 41:02Shawn Ryan?

  name that they can think of, and they've abused it so much that none of it holds any weight anymore.

• 41:09Speaker 05

  None of it. It really doesn't.

• 41:10Shawn Ryan?

  Nazi holds no weight, racist holds no, nothing holds any weight, because they've overused, they've, they have overabused all of the buzzwords. They mean nothing now. Which, which also sucks, because somebody that actually is a fucking racist.

• 41:28Shawn Ryan?

  It's not gonna carry the same weight because it's just like, it's just like the little boy that cried wolf story.

• 41:33Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 41:33Shawn Ryan?

  Like you've done it so much that nobody fucking listens anymore.

• 41:37Speaker 05

  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.

• 41:44Shawn Ryan?

  Yeah.

• 41:45Speaker 05

  How can you call me a Nazi?

• 41:46Shawn Ryan?

  It's a damn good point. It's a damn good point.

• 41:50Speaker 05

  That's just how misconstrued some of these people's minds have become.

• 41:53Shawn Ryan?

  What would you like to see happen?

• 41:55Speaker 05

  One accountability and you'd like to see people be happy that you just showed fraud.

• 42:03Speaker 05

  And you wouldn't want to see people out there defending it.

• 42:05Shawn Ryan?

  Who else do you think needs to be held accountable other than Walz?

• 42:08Speaker 05

  Walz.

• 42:09Shawn Ryan?

  It's gotta be a lot more people.

• 42:10Speaker 05

  Oh yeah, all the people inside DHS who are cutting the checks.

• 42:15Speaker 05

  The, the judge, for instance, that one judge who let the guy walk free of 7.2 million dollars in Medicaid fraud. You'd like the, 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?

• 42:49Shawn Ryan?

  It's a great defense. If you, do you follow Nick Fuentes at all?

• 42:54Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 42:55Shawn Ryan?

  He just, he just posted this. Fuentes posted,

• 43:00Shawn Ryan?

  "All of the complaining about Somalians will result in nothing. No mass arrests, no mass deportations, 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?

• 43:20Speaker 05

  I think you're seeing the government, they've never done anything, 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, 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 them the biggest layup ever. If they really want to go in and get everyone back on board, this is a great opportunity for them, so they better go and do it.

• 43:57Shawn Ryan?

  I hope they do, I hope they do. You're 23 and you've watched how fast your own reporting could move online. Why is Fuentes able to gain traction with young audiences? And what does that tell you about how Gen Z decides who to trust now?

• 44:12Speaker 05

  Yeah, Nick Fuentes, 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 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.

• 44:36Shawn Ryan?

  What about you?

• 44:38Speaker 05

  I'm saying the truth.

• 44:40Shawn Ryan?

  You've got millions and millions of people. I think the question is, you know, what is, what is it about you guys that Gen Z is just going nuts over?

• 44:47Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 44:48Shawn Ryan?

  Is this raw, real?

• 44:51Speaker 05

  Well...

• 44:52Shawn Ryan?

  For you, in the weeds? It's this shit that nobody's doing anymore.

• 44:56Speaker 05

  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 Fuentes, who are just saying things as they, as he wants to say them, people are gonna get attached to that. And for me, if I'm going out and showing people things for their, what they really are, and I'm not censoring people out of the conversation, people are gonna like that, because they want that realness, because they want to feel represented. They don't want to feel like they're having one conversation with their friend in the car and then they have to go out to dinner table and have a different conversation.

• 45:32Shawn Ryan?

  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, in actual factual information. Not opinion pieces, not any of that. Just facts and people with the courage to, to put it out there.

• 46:01Speaker 05

  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 able to provide for yourself. Yes, like they just want the truth cut and dry. That's why you, that's why you see so, so many of 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 a hundred thousand dollar loan. They start their life off a hundred thousand dollars in debt. And so a lot of people are wondering, well, why actually are we doing that? And that's why, uh, whether it be Nick Fuentes or whether it be Charlie Kirk,

• 46:44Speaker 05

  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, uh, politics or just commentary. Your role is different than my role. Nick Fuentes' role is different than me and yours. My 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 who's going to talk to the kids to colleges. You have people like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens who are stirring up the pot. And then you have, uh, 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.

• 47:29Speaker 05

  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.

• 47:41Shawn Ryan?

  So you're saying they want to see the bickering stop and results start to happen?

• 47:47Speaker 05

  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, wow, 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?

• 48:10Shawn Ryan?

  That's what it is, huh?

• 48:13Speaker 05

  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 and the epic music, the American flags, and then I hate when I see the next, 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.

• 48:42Shawn Ryan?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 48:46Shawn Ryan?

  Nick, let's take a quick break. When we come back, let's dive into some of the other stuff you've uncovered.

• 48:54Speaker 00

  Welcome to Sephora.

• 48:55Speaker 08

  I'm looking for a perfume that's not too perfumey?

• 48:59Speaker 00

  I got you.

• 49:00Speaker 01

  Serum moisturizer or moisturizer syrup?

• 49:03Speaker 00

  Let's get into layering. My concealer is making me look worse? Sounds like the wrong shade. Let's get you matched.

• 49:12Speaker 02

  There's only one store that really gets what you're going for. Get beauty from people who get beauty, only at Sephora.

• 49:19Speaker 09

  Hi, I, uh...

• 49:20Speaker 00

  Let's get you a basket.

• 49:23Speaker 03

  College football is back. So Hilton called to me, the superstition concierge, to make your fan rituals a reality. Need a room to match your lucky number? We got you. Want to make sure our team doesn't wash your lucky jersey? Oh, that smells lucky. Hilton's unmatched hospitality can keep up with any superstition. Even a marching band wake up call at 5:55 in 55 seconds. Hit it! When you need a team that will do whatever it takes on game day, it matters where you stay. Hilton, for the stay.

• 49:54Shawn Ryan?

  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 him 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 we were talking about all the people that rallied around the video.

• 50:28Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 50:29Shawn Ryan?

  How fast did that happen?

• 50:33Speaker 05

  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 started posting clips of the video. I was like, oh, I got something here. 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. I'm working out with my brother. I'm like, wait, what's going on? Like, I gotta get back and post my video because I hadn't even posted on X yet.

• 50:59Shawn Ryan?

  Oh, man.

• 51:00Speaker 05

  I was like, I have to go post it before somebody else does. 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 JD 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.

• 51:23Shawn Ryan?

  Wow.

• 51:24Speaker 05

  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 prop, he's saying stuff like prosecute Tim Walz. You have JD Vance saying this dude has done more than all the other people who won the, I think it's called like the Pulitzer Prize or something like that. And then you just had 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, no. It got shared by over 240,000 Americans also retweeted this video.

• 52:05Shawn Ryan?

  Two hundred and forty billion?

• 52:07Speaker 05

  Forty thousand.

• 52:08Shawn Ryan?

  Shit.

• 52:10Speaker 05

  And so it's like when people say like, are you, that's insane numbers for X, like, and then over six hundred and something thousand people watched it, or no, six hundred thousand people liked it, and it got over a hundred and thirty-five million views.

• 52:25Shawn Ryan?

  Wow, wow.

• 52:28Speaker 05

  Most viewed, most viewed video by anyone whose name is not Mr. Beast, on a video over ten minutes long.

• 52:37Shawn Ryan?

  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 a, some type of an internet plant. What is this? What's that all about?

• 52:52Speaker 05

  Been uploading videos since I was fifteen years old. Consistency and hard work.

• 52:58Shawn Ryan?

  What's the rumor? Are you even aware of this?

• 53:01Speaker 05

  There's so much stuff, but, um, 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.

• 53:11Shawn Ryan?

  Yeah.

• 53:12Speaker 05

  Like, if you're, 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 gonna hit eventually.

• 53:21Shawn Ryan?

  It's funny how everybody makes it seem like you just fell right into success, isn't it?

• 53:26Speaker 05

  Yeah, it was pretty funny.

• 53:29Shawn Ryan?

  So, of course, you, you have to be a plant. But, uh, but, um, well, let's talk about some of the other stuff that you've done.

• 53:37Speaker 05

  Done a lot of stuff.

• 53:38Shawn Ryan?

  I know you have, man. Let's, let's start in California.

• 53:42Speaker 05

  Yeah, so California, it's probably like the worst managed state in America. Like, the fraud's bad in Minnesota, but California could even be worse.

• 53:51Shawn Ryan?

  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, have no reason to be there, don't wanna 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 it's, is it, is, is the media makes it out to be?

• 54:20Speaker 05

  Yeah, California, it is as bad as the media makes it out to be. 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 homeless people setting up their own homes encampment. In the street, you're walking across poop. Like this isn't an exaggeration. Like I've done it. I've done it. 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.

• 54:53Shawn Ryan?

  What?

• 54:55Speaker 05

  Have you not heard about that?

• 54:55Shawn Ryan?

  No.

• 54:56Speaker 05

  Over $24 billion went unaccounted for to fight homelessness.

• 55:00Shawn Ryan?

  Are you saying million or billion with a B?

• 55:02Speaker 05

  Billion with a B.

• 55:03Shawn Ryan?

  The $24 billion went missing?

• 55:06Speaker 05

  It just went missing.

• 55:10Speaker 05

  And meanwhile Gavin Newsom's buying a $9 million mansion in the Bay Area.

• 55:14Shawn Ryan?

  Did he really?

• 55:15Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 55:17Shawn Ryan?

  I didn't know that.

• 55:19Speaker 05

  I gotta start putting some allegedly's out there, so they can't come after me. But allegedly, he bought a $9 million mansion.

• 55:25Shawn Ryan?

  Shit.

• 55:27Speaker 05

  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. 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.

• 55:46Shawn Ryan?

  Oh, in Maine, they're handing out free boofing kits. You know what a boofing kit is?

• 55:50Speaker 05

  Uh, no. What is a boofing kit?

• 55:52Shawn Ryan?

  Oh, man. I've been waiting for somebody to ask me this. Cause 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, uh, balloon that you, you, you put the fentanyl in. And then you just shove it up your ass.

• 56:11Speaker 05

  What?

• 56:12Shawn Ryan?

  Yeah.

• 56:13Speaker 05

  Really?

• 56:14Shawn Ryan?

  Yeah. It's 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 there. New effect.

• 56:28Speaker 05

  Dang, yeah, that fentanyl, that fatty be hitting.

• 56:30Shawn Ryan?

  You haven't seen any boofing kits out in your adventures, have you?

• 56:33Speaker 05

  No, I have not documented anybody putting up their bum. That could, oh, I maybe.

• 56:39Shawn Ryan?

  Yeah, so now there you go, Nick.

• 56:41Speaker 05

  Now I'll be looking up.

• 56:42Shawn Ryan?

  You learned something today. Now you can go get, go to Maine and get a free boofing kit to inject your fentanyl with.

• 56:48Speaker 05

  I hear Maine's an interesting place.

• 56:49Shawn Ryan?

  It sounds like it, isn't it?

• 56:50Speaker 05

  It really does.

• 56:51Shawn Ryan?

  I've been up there many times.

• 56:53Speaker 05

  Really?

• 56:54Shawn Ryan?

  Yeah.

• 56:54Speaker 05

  I think I need to go and do.

• 56:55Shawn Ryan?

  It's actually a beautiful state. You should go check it out.

• 56:58Speaker 05

  I imagine it's much like Washington State.

• 57:00Shawn Ryan?

  I've never, I've been there.

• 57:02Speaker 05

  Really?

• 57:02Shawn Ryan?

  How would you see in Washington?

• 57:04Speaker 05

  Washington?

• 57:05Shawn Ryan?

  What's, what's your favorite place that you frequent, Nick?

• 57:08Speaker 05

  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.

• 57:16Shawn Ryan?

  Worse than Cali?

• 57:19Shawn Ryan?

  What's the worst? What's the wor- what's the one that you thought was like? Shit, I know it was bad. I didn't think it was this bad.

• 57:26Speaker 05

  Kensington, Philadelphia.

• 57:28Shawn Ryan?

  Really? Let's go there. What are you seeing there?

• 57:31Speaker 05

  You have entire, you have this entire community and it is just actually zombies. Like the people are so hooked on the drugs that they could care less about what's going on and they're just slumped in the fatty 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 fentanyl.

• 57:57Shawn Ryan?

  How? How did they get hooked? What kind of conversations do you have with them?

• 58:01Speaker 05

  Yeah, so a lot of these people there got hooked on drugs when they got in, injured in an accident. And then they were maybe heroin addicts and then they just tried fentanyl once. And because fentanyl is 50 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 when in Trump's first office, it costs about fifteen dollars for a fentanyl pill.

• 58:45Speaker 05

  Cause there's multiple different ways to take fentanyl. So for a blue, it was fifteen dollars. Joe Biden gets into office, they open up the borders, it costs the addict only five dollars.

• 58:55Shawn Ryan?

  For a hit.

• 58:56Speaker 05

  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.

• 59:10Shawn Ryan?

  Are you shitting me?

• 59:11Speaker 05

  Not a joke and 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.

• 59:26Shawn Ryan?

  Sad as fuck, man.

• 59:27Speaker 05

  Yeah, like it's actually sickening and so.

• 59:31Shawn Ryan?

  This is like the shit I saw overseas that I've never wanted to. Wow.

• 59:38Speaker 05

  Yeah, America.

• 59:39Shawn Ryan?

  It's that bad. Little kids are walking past dead bodies, kicking them and punching them and joking about it. Like it's a, it's that means, that means this is an everyday.

• 59:53Speaker 05

  Watched a.

• 59:54Shawn Ryan?

  It's every day. That's not these kids walked over that one day. This is every day.

• 1:00:00Speaker 05

  Every day. Watched a little kid in San Francisco walk over a dead body with his mom and his mom's grabbing him, 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 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 and try to give him Narcan and all the addicts are freaking out, not knowing what to do and their friends died, dying on the ground.

• 1:00:28Speaker 05

  And that happens every single day in every major city in America, um, whether it's San Francisco or Kensington, Philadelphia. That shouldn't be happening.

• 1:00:38Shawn Ryan?

  Did you, did you save that guy?

• 1:00:41Speaker 05

  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.

• 1:00:55Shawn Ryan?

  Damn, man.

• 1:00:56Speaker 05

  But so like I had to run over and get the guy to give him the Narcan.

• 1:01:01Speaker 05

  And then the addicts, they're so delusional in their brain because all they're thinking about is the next hit. That they ended up getting, moving me out of the area and then I don't know what happened to the guy.

• 1:01:15Shawn Ryan?

  Are they threatening you? I mean.

• 1:01:17Speaker 05

  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. I remember giving him ten dollars when we'd leave the Jazz stadium after going to the basketball game and giving the homeless guy ten dollars and you wish him a good night. But now they're, these guys are just on fentanyl, just slumped, moving back and forth. And they don't even care what happens.

• 1:01:46Shawn Ryan?

  I mean, when you're talking about all the, 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?

• 1:01:55Speaker 05

  Probably ten of them, all around them. Cause they all just get in this little circle. 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.

• 1:02:11Shawn Ryan?

  Sean, real quick, where can people keep watching?

• 1:03:53Shawn Ryan?

  Patreon, baby.

• 1:03:55Speaker 05

  Nice! Three for three. Nice! We started off really bad, but thank you, Coach. We're doing better.

• 1:04:01Shawn Ryan?

  You're welcome. We got quite the learning center here, huh?

• 1:04:04Speaker 05

  We're learning a lot out here.

• 1:04:09Shawn Ryan?

  How do you strike a conversation with them?

• 1:04:13Speaker 05

  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, "Hi, how are you doing? We're wondering if we could just ask you a few questions. What got you into this? 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 five-dollar 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. So I always try not to pay people.

• 1:04:47Shawn Ryan?

  What else do you learn from these people?

• 1:04:49Speaker 05

  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 him off the drugs, a lot of these people don't have any potential left in them because.

• 1:05:03Shawn Ryan?

  I know their potential. My best friend fucking got killed by that shit. He was a Navy SEAL and then contracted with CIA with me, one of the brightest people I've ever met in my life.

• 1:05:13Speaker 05

  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 why 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.

• 1:05:55Shawn Ryan?

  Do you consider yourself to be MAGA?

• 1:05:57Speaker 05

  Yeah, I support Donald Trump.

• 1:06:01Speaker 05

  I think right now you kind of have, you have to, you have to decide. Alright, 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 not to support him if you're, if you believe in what he's trying to do for America and 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. Is there probably something weird going on there? Yeah.

• 1:06:43Speaker 05

  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.

• 1:07:03Shawn Ryan?

  Yeah, I'm with you. I think people need to really align themselves with the with the with the values and in 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.

• 1:07:25Speaker 05

  Yeah, it's actually crazy because just think about what happened with Maduro. Biden actually had a $25 million bounty out for Maduro.

• 1:07:32Shawn Ryan?

  Did he really?

• 1:07:33Speaker 05

  Yes, Biden and Kamala did.

• 1:07:35Shawn Ryan?

  No shit.

• 1:07:36Speaker 05

  They put out a 25 bounty bounty during Biden's presidency. And so then Trump goes in. So far, no casualties have been said 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 because of Maduro. It was the largest exodus of a group of people in.

• 1:08:10Shawn Ryan?

  Since California.

• 1:08:11Speaker 05

  Since California.

• 1:08:13Shawn Ryan?

  In New York.

• 1:08:14Speaker 05

  Yeah. And so I just can't side with anything the left's doing right now. Like, I can't side with any of their leaders. I can't side with anything that they're pushing because I don't think they have America's best interest in heart.

• 1:08:27Shawn Ryan?

  Yeah. Well, I think a lot of people have felt that for a pretty long time. But where else did you go?

• 1:09:07Speaker 03

  College football is back. So Hilton called to me, the superstition concierge, to make your fan rituals a reality. Need a room to match your lucky number? We got you. Want to make sure our team doesn't wash your lucky jersey? Oh, that smells lucky. Hilton's unmatched hospitality can keep up with any superstition. Even a marching band wake up call at 5:55 and 55 seconds. Hit it! When you need a team that will do whatever it takes on game day, it matters where you stay. Hilton, for the stay.

• 1:09:37Speaker 05

  In El Salvador.

• 1:09:39Shawn Ryan?

  How was that?

• 1:09:39Speaker 05

  Secot. Very cool. I'm the first ever American to do it.

• 1:09:45Shawn Ryan?

  Were you really?

• 1:09:46Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:09:47Shawn Ryan?

  Damn, Nick.

• 1:09:49Speaker 05

  That's crazy.

• 1:09:49Shawn Ryan?

  Fucking killing it, man.

• 1:09:50Speaker 05

  I don't even know how I got that opportunity.

• 1:09:52Shawn Ryan?

  How you getting in your... How did you get your way into there?

• 1:09:54Speaker 05

  I went to El Salvador because 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 and I'm like, okay, where are the migrants at? I'm trying to join a caravan. I'm talking to locals because I speak fluent Spanish. And they're like, oh, we don't have migrants here. I'm like, what do you guys mean? This is like perfect spot for the map from the crossover. They're like, no, we don't have them here.

• 1:10:25Shawn Ryan?

  We're not migrants till we get to your country, Nick.

• 1:10:27Speaker 05

  Yeah. Yeah, I was like, what's going on? And 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 started telling me about naive UK and about Secot. And so I get there, 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 on X that had anything to do with the government. If I could just find somebody to give me that contact to then message going inside Secot. And eventually just some random person said, this is the number of the secretary.

• 1:11:08Speaker 05

  And I messaged the press secretary of El Salvador and she said, oh, no, not right now. Message me again in a month. Message her again. She says, ah, not right now. Message 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 Secot. We'll see you there. Boom. That was my big break.

• 1:11:26Shawn Ryan?

  Nice. How was it in there?

• 1:11:29Speaker 05

  Crazy.

• 1:11:31Shawn Ryan?

  What'd you learn?

• 1:11:33Speaker 05

  Of people advocating for those people, we need to really question who they're advocating for. But the moment you walk in there,

• 1:11:41Speaker 05

  you just feel like any sense of goodness in your body just leave.

• 1:11:48Speaker 05

  And your body is just filled with emptiness.

• 1:11:52Speaker 05

  And then you look at the prisoners in their eyes, they're completely empty.

• 1:11:58Speaker 05

  They're hopeless.

• 1:12:00Speaker 05

  Whatever wasn't possessed, whatever had possessed them had taken control and they had been defeated.

• 1:12:07Speaker 05

  And they just look at you with this blank stare of just like,

• 1:12:11Speaker 05

  nothingness. Like you look into their eyes and nothing. You start walking around there and you just feel like, literally nothing. And then,

• 1:12:24Speaker 05

  you look at their tattoos, they have, they're just from top to, top to bottom, just full of MS-13, Barrio de Siocho. And then actually, they're like, no Nick, you can't interview anybody. I was originally set to interview one of 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 shirts so you can see all their tattoos. And so I get like, pretty, pretty close to almost face to face with one of these guys. I'm like, are you still proud to be a gangster? He's like, yeah. I was like, wow, we've 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.

• 1:13:10Speaker 05

  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 24/7. They eat the same meal every single day. They get no protein. Like they get no meat, like no pork or chicken. All they get is a tortilla, rice and beans. I think they get like yogurt or milk. And um, each, and then, so these guys are just like hopeless. They got 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, pushups, situps.

• 1:13:51Speaker 05

  And they're all in white. And then they either get to do that, or they get to listen to some preacher inside of that prison.

• 1:14:00Speaker 05

  But those guys deserved it.

• 1:14:02Shawn Ryan?

  Uh huh.

• 1:14:02Speaker 05

  They killed and made it so families couldn't go from street to street to go visit their other family members.

• 1:14:07Shawn Ryan?

  Uh huh.

• 1:14:08Speaker 05

  So, that was ve- very interesting to see that and it was very cool to see how then you leave there.

• 1:14:17Speaker 05

  You leave there, then you go out to the streets of El Salvador 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 couldn't 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.

• 1:14:36Shawn Ryan?

  Wow.

• 1:14:38Speaker 05

  Very cool.

• 1:14:39Shawn Ryan?

  That is really cool, man. How about Paris?

• 1:14:43Speaker 05

  Paris?

• 1:14:44Shawn Ryan?

  What'd you see in Paris?

• 1:14:45Speaker 05

  Well, Paris, I got attacked by scammers.

• 1:14:49Speaker 05

  The scammers there are rampant.

• 1:14:53Speaker 05

  I mean, I didn't, I didn't, 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.

• 1:15:12Shawn Ryan?

  What was it?

• 1:15:13Speaker 05

  Um, all these African migrants from Senegal and from, um, East Africa. They go to Paris and they start selling these Eiffel Towers or, 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 when 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.

• 1:15:59Speaker 05

  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 in the entire world.

• 1:16:07Shawn Ryan?

  Uh huh.

• 1:16:07Speaker 05

  And they've just let it get controlled by scammers, overtaken by scammers.

• 1:16:12Shawn Ryan?

  Man.

• 1:16:12Speaker 05

  By foreign scammers that aren't even French.

• 1:16:15Shawn Ryan?

  What did you go there for?

• 1:16:17Speaker 05

  To do a video on immigration inside of France. To see what was going on, because people kept telling me it was bad, and it was bad. I mean, the scammers, one, they had taken over there, and then entire, I think they call it districts in Paris, were completely, Paris people had been pushed out. The French people had been pushed out.

• 1:16:38Shawn Ryan?

  Did you talk to anybody over there?

• 1:16:39Speaker 05

  Yeah, I did.

• 1:16:40Shawn Ryan?

  What were they saying?

• 1:16:41Speaker 05

  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 houses here in Paris. And how can anybody say this is good for us?"

• 1:16:54Speaker 05

  So, it's just, and then in Europe, you go to-

• 1:16:57Shawn Ryan?

  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"?

• 1:17:04Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 1:17:04Shawn Ryan?

  There is?

• 1:17:05Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 1:17:06Shawn Ryan?

  Okay.

• 1:17:06Speaker 05

  In my video, I speak with, I go, 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, and they're sympathetic to criminals. And I'm talking to this girl who's in a college, probably, and I, 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 mass, do you think illegal immigration's good?" Something along the lines of that. 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. And illegal migration, it's one of the most inhumane things, not only for the people

• 1:17:51Speaker 05

  who are originally from that country, but from the migrants they bring over. 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 is fining countries like Poland and Hungary for not accepting migrants.

• 1:18:18Speaker 05

  So it's all this coordinated attack on Western civilization.

• 1:18:23Shawn Ryan?

  What would you say the percentage of people that are pro migrant versus anti are in France?

• 1:18:30Speaker 05

  I think it's getting probably more towards 50/50 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. They don't feel like they're the ones being represented.

• 1:18:57Speaker 05

  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.

• 1:19:07Shawn Ryan?

  You gonna head over there? Did you go there?

• 1:19:08Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:19:09Shawn Ryan?

  You were there?

• 1:19:10Speaker 05

  Yeah, I was there for that.

• 1:19:11Shawn Ryan?

  How was that?

• 1:19:11Speaker 05

  It was awesome. It was awesome.

• 1:19:14Shawn Ryan?

  What are those people saying?

• 1:19:16Speaker 05

  They're, they want their country back.

• 1:19:18Shawn Ryan?

  How are they gonna get it back?

• 1:19:20Speaker 05

  I don't know.

• 1:19:22Shawn Ryan?

  You know what's interesting about UK is I just don't see anybody

• 1:19:28Shawn Ryan?

  speaking up about anything, except our buddy J. Cal.

• 1:19:33Speaker 05

  Yeah, well, they imprison them.

• 1:19:35Shawn Ryan?

  What's that?

• 1:19:35Speaker 05

  They imprison them, like Tommy Robinson.

• 1:19:38Shawn Ryan?

  That's why I'm asking you, you know?

• 1:19:39Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:19:40Shawn Ryan?

  How are they gonna do anything?

• 1:19:41Speaker 05

  Yeah, because I mean, they're throwing people in jail for tweets.

• 1:19:45Speaker 05

  Like every day, more than 10 people are getting put in jail for putting tweets out, putting posts on X. And they've tried, they've tried to imprison Tommy Robinson multiple times. And you might not like Tommy Robinson. He might not have a perfect future, 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, it's the exact same thing we just saw in Minnesota. They're too afraid to be called racist and Islamophobes for the fraud that was happening.

• 1:20:16Shawn Ryan?

  Yeah.

• 1:20:18Speaker 05

  And then they try to go and imprison Tommy Robinson. Not just once, but they've done it multiple times. They put him in solitary confinement for more than a hundred days for speaking about, for showing people what was happening inside his country.

• 1:20:29Shawn Ryan?

  Man.

• 1:20:30Speaker 05

  And I know why it's happening.

• 1:20:32Shawn Ryan?

  Why is it happening?

• 1:20:33Speaker 05

  Just for purely votes and to keep people in power. And it's also, I kinda knew what was gonna, I kinda knew this was gonna happen in the United States after I'd gone to Europe a couple of times to do videos on what was happening. Because Tommy Robinson, I had to sit down and interview with him. He goes, "The reason why the Labour 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.

• 1:21:07Shawn Ryan?

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:21:08Speaker 05

  Not pro-AGBC plus, they're pro-family, right? And so, he, he, he goes, "Well, it, 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 gonna let you guys do whatever you want. Just, just make sure you guys vote for us." So then, when it comes to a 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 kinda knew that was gonna happen inside of America as well.

• 1:21:53Speaker 05

  You have Mendami, for instance. Another thing Mendami advocated for when he was running was making childcare more affordable. What do we know about childcare now? These daycare centers, they're complete frauds. And, um, so I kinda knew what was gonna start happening. Now you're kinda starting to see it happen here in America, so. And now, after they kinda 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 kinda speaking out against stuff. But, um, I was originally just gonna keep asking people questions, but now they've kinda turned my act, my, now they've kinda turned my journalism into activism in a way where you forced my hand. Now, I, like, I'm compelled to do this now.

• 1:22:35Shawn Ryan?

  Be careful. Don't let them force you into something that you think they don't want you to do.

• 1:22:41Speaker 05

  Like what?

• 1:22:42Shawn Ryan?

  Like what you're doing.

• 1:22:44Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:22:46Speaker 05

  Well.

• 1:22:47Shawn Ryan?

  They'd rather have an activist than a competitor. I can tell you that much right now.

• 1:22:52Speaker 05

  Well, I don't think, uh, sharing facts is wrong.

• 1:22:56Shawn Ryan?

  I don't either. I think what you're doing is amazing. I'm just telling you, be careful.

• 1:23:00Speaker 05

  Yeah, I mean.

• 1:23:01Shawn Ryan?

  They will manipulate in 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 you want. They want you.

• 1:23:11Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:23:11Shawn Ryan?

  Know what I'm saying?

• 1:23:12Speaker 05

  Mm-hmm. I do need to be a little bit more careful. And it kind of stinks. 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 lives to live.

• 1:23:21Shawn Ryan?

  Well, think about how much more wisdom you'll have when you're my age, because you started at 23.

• 1:23:26Speaker 05

  Yeah, very true.

• 1:23:27Shawn Ryan?

  So, but what do you got coming up next, Nick?

• 1:23:31Speaker 05

  Got a lot more stuff coming, but, uh.

• 1:23:35Shawn Ryan?

  I got something for you.

• 1:23:37Speaker 05

  Or what? Bad answer, my bad?

• 1:23:39Shawn Ryan?

  Very early, very early on this, but I've been hearing a lot of grumblings that a lot of these Dominion voting machines in the election fraud is coming from Venezuela. Have you heard this?

• 1:23:53Speaker 05

  Uh-uh.

• 1:23:54Shawn Ryan?

  I'm gonna send you some stuff. Maybe you can dig in. I'm getting ready to dive in on that, I think. And, um, could be a huge, huge story.

• 1:24:03Speaker 05

  Really?

• 1:24:03Shawn Ryan?

  I don't know if it's legit. I've just been hearing grumblings, so we're just.

• 1:24:08Speaker 05

  I would like to go to Venezuela.

• 1:24:09Shawn Ryan?

  Would you?

• 1:24:10Speaker 05

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:24:11Shawn Ryan?

  Maybe we'll go together.

• 1:24:12Speaker 05

  Do you want to go? I'm good. I'm down.

• 1:24:14Shawn Ryan?

  I might.

• 1:24:14Speaker 05

  I don't know how we do it now, but I think it'd be a great video. The Venezuelan people are very, like, they're very good people, like, some of the best people I've met. Um, because I did like this two-year mission trip for our church. A lot of people I'd spent my time with were migrants from Venezuela, and they were just like some of the nicest people I'd ever met.

• 1:24:31Shawn Ryan?

  Really?

• 1:24:32Speaker 05

  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, and they're all like celebrating. And meanwhile, you have liberals in the street calling for Trump to.

• 1:24:49Speaker 05

  For him to release Maduro.

• 1:24:50Shawn Ryan?

  Oh, man.

• 1:24:51Speaker 05

  Like, you guys realize what he just did to that entire country, Maduro? You have people out at the border selling bags of Venezuelan dollars because they mean absolutely nothing. Like, they're using their dollars for product, for material.

• 1:25:08Shawn Ryan?

  Yeah.

• 1:25:09Speaker 05

  Like, it's, it, 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, like, he is a character, 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.

• 1:25:48Speaker 05

  But if it wasn't for X, you wouldn't have seen any of that.

• 1:25:51Shawn Ryan?

  Yeah.

• 1:25:51Speaker 05

  Like, I went freaking to combat with this Tim Walz on X.

• 1:25:55Shawn Ryan?

  Man, you really crushed it.

• 1:25:58Speaker 05

  Yeah, well, I had no other option.

• 1:26:00Shawn Ryan?

  You crushed it.

• 1:26:03Speaker 05

  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, well, I guess I'm gonna come back with you. Like, you gotta 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.

• 1:26:27Shawn Ryan?

  That's right.

• 1:26:28Speaker 05

  Especially if you're on the right. It's like you and your boy Crenshaw.

• 1:26:32Shawn Ryan?

  Hey. Can't let people fucking push you around in this world.

• 1:26:36Speaker 05

  No.

• 1:26:37Shawn Ryan?

  Or they will just continue doing it. So, good for you for standing up for yourself.

• 1:26:42Speaker 05

  Exactly.

• 1:26:42Shawn Ryan?

  Way to fucking be, man. All right, Nick. If you had three people to recommend for this show, who would they be?

• 1:26:48Speaker 05

  Three people? I would love to see Nayib Kelly. That's somebody I want to personally interview as well. Uh, I'm really interested in, like, leaders of the world. I think Nayib Kelly would be really cool.

• 1:27:03Speaker 05

  Gotta think.

• 1:27:06Speaker 05

  Have you done John Fetterman?

• 1:27:08Shawn Ryan?

  Uh-uh.

• 1:27:09Speaker 05

  I think he'd be interesting to talk to.

• 1:27:10Shawn Ryan?

  Alright.

• 1:27:12Speaker 05

  Cause I think he's like one of the only Democrats who like has common sense right now. I think he'd be good.

• 1:27:21Speaker 05

  I don't know anything about George Bush. And I've never seen him do anything. I think that'd be interesting.

• 1:27:27Shawn Ryan?

  That would be really interesting. I got a lot of questions for him.

• 1:27:31Speaker 05

  Yeah, I'm sure with your past, you have a lot of questions with him.

• 1:27:33Shawn Ryan?

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:27:34Speaker 05

  And I've never seen him do any interview. Like, my generation knows absolutely nothing about George Bush. Other than 9/11.

• 1:27:43Speaker 05

  So I think that'd be an interesting conversation.

• 1:27:46Shawn Ryan?

  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.

• 1:27:58Speaker 05

  Yes, I'm excited. Thank you.

• 1:28:13Shawn Ryan?
