• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Nick Shirley. Didn't expect to see you back so soon.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, me neither.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Turns out there's lots of fraud to uncover in the
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: United States, huh?
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: There is so much fraud here in the United States,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: it's unbelievable.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Dude. So, hold on. Did you go right to California
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: from Minnesota?
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: So, after Minnesota... I was like, okay, the threats are
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: pretty high right now after exposing like billions of dollars.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Let me focus on something different, but let me still
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: focus on fraud. So I focused on election fraud in California.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: I was like, that would maybe take a little bit
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: of the pressure off me for a little bit as
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: far as like the death threats and just like going,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: having a group like the Somalians coming after me. So like, okay,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: let's go after election fraud. And then a few weeks later,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: I then did go after the hospice fraud.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: And that was bad. Damn, dude. Why'd you pick California
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: election fraud? I'm just curious.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Because they're the biggest state in the country and they're
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: one of the states that don't require voter ID. So
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: I really just want to show people how easy it
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: is to vote in an election here inside the United
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: States in a place that does not require voter ID.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Have you heard of, we're going to get into that.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I'm just curious. I've been hearing a lot of the
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: voter frauds coming out of Venezuela, like from a national standpoint.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Have you heard this shit?
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: I really haven't.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: You haven't?
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: I heard maybe the Dominion machines are out of there.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes. I haven't looked into it. Smartmatic, is that
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: who owns them? I don't know. This is all allegedly, allegedly.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: But I've been hearing a lot of sources talking about
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: that it all kind of is orchestrated from Venezuela. But
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I'm just curious. I would like to go to Venezuela.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: It's very... I don't know if I should say conspiracy-ish,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: but I can't think of another word right now. It's
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: kind of conspiracy-ish, so I haven't really touched on it
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: yet because I can't, you know. There's a lot of
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: wild shit out there, but I'm hearing it more and
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: more and more.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: If you can hook me up with a group of
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: special op guys to go out to Venezuela, I'll go
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: look into it.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I know a couple special op guys that will go
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: to Venezuela with you. So, yeah, actually, I will fucking
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: hook you up. I'll call them up tonight and see
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: if they will be interested in going down with you.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: I'm down. Hablo espanol. I'm ready.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Do you really?
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I speak fluent Spanish.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: No shit. Where'd you learn that?
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: In Chile, Santiago.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Mission trip.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Nice. I'm a dual threat.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Nice. Let me give you an intro here. Nick Shirley,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: a bold 23-year-old independent journalist who's taken the Internet by
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: storm with fearless, on-the-ground investigations. Known for exposing stories the
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: legacy media won't touch, from immigration debates to government waste.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Uncovered alleged massive fraud in Minnesota's taxpayer-funded programs. Testified before
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Congress about the fraud taking place in Minnesota and all
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: across the United States. Currently uncovering millions and dollars of
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: fraud in California for fake hospice care facilities and daycares. Fuck, man.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: And as you know, before we get going, got a
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: couple things to knock out. One. Yes.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: These are so good.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Vigilance League gummy bears.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: I ate like the whole pack last time within a
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: few days.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Nice. And we got a Patreon account. turned it into
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: quite the community. And so they get the opportunity to
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: ask every single guest a question. This is from Robert Simmons.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Have you had any luck with any federal investigators taking
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: what you found in expanding investigations? And do you think
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: at some point there will be any real indictments or
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: convictions of state officials who have allowed it or are
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: covering it up?
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I've had a lot of success to
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: actually just open up a new task force, broad task force,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: where our A bunch of departments of the government are
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: now going to be talking together if they see an
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: issue at Treasury and they see an issue at another
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: department where they weren't communicating, now they're going to communicate.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: And I think we will start to see prosecutions ramp up.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Vance just, he's the lead on that, isn't he?
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Is this the same thing?
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: So what is the difference between this and DOGE?
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: This essentially isn't like a new, I don't think it's
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: a new department, it's a task force. And now like
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: all these departments inside the government, like you have Treasury,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: you have the people who are over the housing, you
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: have all these departments are now going to be talking together.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: You have the HHS that's going to be talking with Treasury.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: If there's a huge amount of money going somewhere and
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: they think it's suspicious, they're going to talk because before
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: they weren't talking.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Right on.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: And that's why the fraud got so big.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: You think you are the main component of the reason
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: that happened?
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. JD even told me that.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Did he really?
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I met with him, and he's like, you're one
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: of the main reasons why this is happening.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Wow. How's that feel? It's pretty cool.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah. I mean, I think it's just cool to
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: know that, like, your efforts can be seen by government officials, and, like,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: change can be brought out.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Which is cool for me to see, at least.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Pretty fucking cool what you're doing, man. Yeah, it's fun.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: It's... and scary at the same time.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: How about, so the death threats died down? A little bit.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, after Minnesota, that was very, that was really crazy,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: and especially after the shootings as well that took place
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: in Minnesota. That did not help.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: That was pretty wild. Just because everyone wanted to blame
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: on somebody, and suddenly they were blaming it on me.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I had nothing to do with that.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Are you talking about the ice shootings?
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: They were blaming that on you?
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: A lot of the leftists were trying to blame it
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: on me. I'm like, no, I'm not the one who
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: decided to get in my car and hit an ICE
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: agent or put myself in position to get shot by
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: an ICE agent.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Holy shit. Yeah. I didn't know they were blaming it
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: on you. I don't think that was a good shoot.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Well, not everyone, but like a select group of people
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: are like, you have blood on your hands. I'm like, no,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: I don't. Yeah. That was not me.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Damn, dude. Damn.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Because I mean, after that, after I exposed all that fraud...
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: the politicians tried to divert the attention from the fraud.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: And with the ICE coming in, they then like... They
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: even shut down the school so people could go out
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: and protest. So they then incentivized these people to go
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: out and protest and were rallying them up. Like Ilhan
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Omar was in the back of a truck bed yelling
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: at the protesters, rallying them up.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, shit.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that. Wow. Did anything happen in Minnesota?
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so, I mean, for instance, like the Feeding Our
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Future one, that was one of the main daycares I
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: went to. They had received over $ 3 million. One of
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: the ladies was fleeing the United States to go to
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: the UK on a one-way trip. She got caught at
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: the airport, and now she's been found guilty. And there's
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: people who have been arrested for autism, who have pleaded
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: guilty to the autism fraud that took place. And right now,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: I think they're just building up the cases. I mean,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: it really was only about three months.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Ago since all this happened. It's actually pretty impressive that
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: that's already starting to happen. I honestly thought everybody would
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: just go unscathed, like, oh, yeah, we uncovered it. Cool.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Let's just keep doing it. Yeah.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: All the fraudsters are on high alert right now, too.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Good. You're doing good work. So let's move into California. California.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: California fraud is so massive and there's so many different
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: things to look at. When you look at the fraud
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: that's taking place in California, you have Medi-Cal fraud, which
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: is their Medicaid. And for instance, in 2022, they had
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: $ 108 billion go towards Medi-Cal.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: What is Medi-Cal?
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: It's their Medicaid.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: So each state kind of calls their Medicaid systems or
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: programs a bit different. California's is called Medi-Cal. It's the
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: biggest Medicaid in the United States because they have the
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: most amount of people. But so in 2022, they had
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: $ 108 billion go towards Medi-Cal. Their enrollments at the time
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: was 3.9 million. Okay. And so then here, now we're
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: in 2026, the proposed budget for Medi-Cal is now 222
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: million and their enrollments, 40 million. So they've only- What? Yeah.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Hold on. Can you say those numbers again?
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: So- 108 million? Billions.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: For 39.8 million people?
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: 39.9. Holy shit.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: So they've over-doubled it for 100,000 people. Well, what's new?
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: What are they getting?
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: That's what we're all wondering. And actually, the population of
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: California hasn't gone up exponentially either.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I checked it. It's plateaued. I thought it was
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: actually a decline, but it's not a decline. It is...
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: a plateau since 2020.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I pulled it up.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: And so when I was doing that, making that video,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: I looked at this and I said, what is going
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: on here? How is it going from 39.9 enrollment to
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: now 40 million enrollment, yet there's over $ 100 billion? And
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: then if you look at the surplus, California at one
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: point was operating in $ 100 billion surplus before 2020. Now
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: they're operating in, I believe, around a $ 20 to $ 40
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: billion deficit. So that's an easy place to point to
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: why they're in such deficit and where all the fraud is.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: So what is going on? Can you say the dates again?
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: So it was $ 108 billion in when? 2022.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: 2022.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: And today, in 2026, it's doubled. Yes. Overdoubled.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: The proposed budget's at $ 222 billion.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Holy shit, dude.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: And the thing with the fraud is they want to
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: make it so big and so complex that it's hard
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: to actually crack down on. And so when you have
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: that much money going out to these locations, going out
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: to these hospices, going out to these home health cares,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: it makes it very hard to crack down on. Because
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: how do you... Like, the web's so deep at that point. Like,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: there's so many hands that are involved.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: How are they doing the fraud?
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: So hospice and... home health care like the most valuable
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: thing to somebody over the age of 65 is their
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Medicare beneficiary number and that's even more valuable to a
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: fraudster than a credit card so they get the medical
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: beneficiary numbers of these people and then they start enrolling
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: them into hospice and once someone's enrolled the hospice a
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: lot of people in California don't even know they're enrolled
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: in the hospice until they go to the doctor and
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: they need a surgery or they need an appointment they
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: say well we can't help you you're enrolled in the hospice.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: So then what happens? So these people... So basically their
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: identity's stolen.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Somebody puts them in the hospice program. They need a surgery.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: They can't get a surgery because.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: They'll be denied.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: How many people have died because of this?
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: I don't have the exact numbers on that, but I
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: imagine a lot of people get to the doctors and
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: they're like, wait, I had no idea it was on hospice.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: CBS even reported on it.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, what if it's a medical emergency?
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: They're on hospice.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: You're having a fucking heart attack.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: You're on hospice.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Or an aneurysm.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Holy shit. So it's very dangerous, actually. I mean, my grandma,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: when she was dying, they put her on hospice. And
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: basically that means they're just going to give you morphine
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: if you're not feeling good or they're going to, like,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: treat you, but they're not going to stop you from dying. Like,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: they're not going to do some last-minute procedure to make
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: sure you stay alive.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: So is hospice, what is it, government aid? What is
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: it covered?
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: So it's underneath Medi-Cal, but it's literally just like hospice
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: is just like home health care to ease your dying.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: That's what I thought.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so there's hospice and then there's home health care
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: where they then actually do stuff to help the person
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: stay alive.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: It sounds like a really easy thing to fix. Just
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: verify who you're sending the money to. Hey, is so-and-so here?
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: No.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Okay. Whoa.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: Well, the problem is they then get these little offices
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: and they just do the billing. They don't have the
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: patient inside of a hospice because they're going out to
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: the homes because most of the people are on their
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: deathbeds at their home.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: And so it's very hard.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: So if you do have that medical beneficiary number, it's
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: super easy to make it look like you're doing stuff
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: because it's just a piece of paper that you're signing
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: off and sending to the state, and then they send
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: you the money from Medi-Cal.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Or from Medicare.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I thought hospice was actual centers.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: No. That's why they're able to get away with it.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Shit.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: And that's how they get the medical beneficiary numbers. Then
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: they can just bill people without them even knowing.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: How did you figure all this out?
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Well, after my Minnesota video, it, like, surged the country
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: to go look for fraud, and I was kind of
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: nervous to tackle California because I was worried, like, okay,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: if I post a video, Gavin Newsom's probably going to
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: try to sue me. Because Dr. Oz went and did it.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: He's the head of CMS. So he went and showed
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: that here in California, there's a thousand percent increase in
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: these hospices. Armenia and Russian mafias are running these hospices.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: And so I knew there was something there because literally
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: the head of the CMS is going there and talking
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: about that. And so then I started looking into all
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: the data. After my video, the HHS actually released the
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: databases of HHS to then, you could go then scan
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: through it. So I started going through that data and
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: I located these hospices. I said, okay, I'm gonna go
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: see what's happening at these. And it turns out that
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: they are just, there's just a bunch of plazas in
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: this place called Van Nuys in California, in LA, that
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: just have literally 10 to 89 hospices in one building.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Dude, this is just like the Minnesota shit.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it might even be worse. Because one in a
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: third of the hospices in America are in L.A. County.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: One third of the hospices in America are in L.A. County?
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: I believe so, yeah. Like one in every $ 10 for
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: home health care goes to L.A.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: County.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: It gets really bad.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Whoa, dude. Holy shit. 89 in one building?
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: 89 in one building.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: What does that look like?
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: There are literally these plazas or just these buildings that
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: you maybe drive by and don't think anything of because
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: you've never seen anything ever happen to them. Well, there's
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: a little hospice in a room that's like 8x8. And
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: you knock on the door and nobody's there. You can
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: even open the door and there's nothing in it. And
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: then if someone is in it, it's literally like one desk.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: And it's one of these usually Armenians, especially in California.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: And then you drive out and you walk outside the
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: parking lot and you got like M8 competitions. You got G-wagons.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: You got Cybertrucks. You even have $ 200, 000 Maybacks. Like these
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: fraudsters are living in complete luxury.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Everything in life has leveled up. Your phone's basically a supercomputer.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Your car parks itself. Your headphones cancel noise like magic.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: But your Razr still feels like it's stuck in 2008.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: That's why I switched to Harry's Plus. The first time
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: I used it, it just felt different. Way more controlled.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: The handle actually has weight to it. Not that cheap.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: plastic feel, and the blades glide clean without that tugging
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: and pulling you get from the drugstore razors. They've got
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: this advanced pivot system that actually hits every angle, and
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: the blades are engineered to cut clean at the root. Plus,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: there's a lubricating strip with aloe and vitamin E so
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: your skin doesn't feel wrecked afterwards. And the crazy part?
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: It feels like a premium shave, but it's not priced
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: like one. They own their blade factory in Germany, so
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: there's no middleman markup. For a limited time, our listeners

  Speaker 1: Starting something new isn't just hard, it's terrifying. Before I
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: launched the Sean Ryan Show, those what-ifs were loud. What
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: if nobody listens? What if this fails? Walking away from
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: what's familiar to build your own thing takes real faith.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: but it ended up being one of the best decisions
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: I've ever made. Whether you're starting a podcast or launching

• 19:34
  Speaker 1: is Russian mob.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Yes, Russian and Armenian. So I stroke the Armenians, apparently.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: The Russians actually got a hold of them somebody who
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: knew my mom and said they called and then that
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: person then called my mom and said, the Russian mafia
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: wants me to tell you to make sure Nick doesn't
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: come poking around our fraud. Like, that's not a joke.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: We were driving in LA. I was working on a
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: separate video. Somebody called my mom and she apparently knew
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: some people in that and she had my mom's phone number.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: She called my mom and said, the Russian mafia, wants
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: to make sure to let you know to have Nick
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: not come snooping around our businesses.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: How does that make you feel?
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: I was like, well, I'm probably not going to go
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: check out the Russians. But it is scary because like
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: the Somalians, they were threatening me publicly. Like they had
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: their people talking in these chats. They were out doing
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: this press conference. It was like they're trying to sell
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: a book. They're like Gavin Newsom. They're trying to sell
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: his own book. These people are doing press conferences and whatnot.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: The Armenians and the Russians, they're a lot smarter than that.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: They're not going to be doing these press conferences about
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: trying to protect their fraud. And so they're going to
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: work in a lot quieter way. So that was a
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: very scary one. My mom did get that phone call.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: How does your mom take that?
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Like now, we're not like used to it, but it's like,
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: hey Nick, we need to be cautious, which isn't fun.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Good man.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: That one was a little crazy, not going to lie.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's serious.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was serious.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's serious.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Because, I mean, these people, like, you talk about, like,
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: the mafia or gangs.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Like, it's real.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Like, there's certain parts in America where mafias or gangs
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: do have control. But you don't see it as blatantly
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: because they're not rolling around like armed gangs in a favela.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: It's more so like these are the people who take
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: command and everyone knows it. and it's just kind of
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: how it's been, and they can kind of blend in.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Man. Well, it's out now.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's out now, so hopefully nothing happens.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Sheesh. Have you talked about this anywhere else?
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: No, you're the first one, actually.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, great. This is great. No shit.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That was intense, honestly. I really liked that night.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: I was just sitting in my bed just thinking, Yeah,
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: the Russian mafia knows like we're on to them or
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: that people are on to their scams and their fraud.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: And they're literally making phone calls to make sure I
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: don't come snoop around the fraud that they've been able
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: to get away with for so long.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Damn. But you've been talking about this pretty openly. I mean,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: it popped up on my radar.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because I mean, I'm doing a public service to
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: the country to try and expose fraud wherever it may
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: be And I don't care if you're Russian, Armenian, Somalian, American.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: If you're committing fraud, you're stealing from hardworking legal taxpayers.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: So either stop committing fraud or you're going to get exposed.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: So what is that? How long ago did you expose this?
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: The Minnesota or Armenian?
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, the California stuff.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: I filmed that back in February. February?
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: February. What has the response been from everybody else other
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: than the moms?
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom, he posted a photo of me snooping around,
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: an AI-generated image of me snooping around daycares, trying to
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: depict me as like a pervert, putting like 10 cameras
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: on me.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: I saw that.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Where are the children? The overall response, though, has been
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: a lot more positive compared to Minnesota because people are realizing, oh,
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: this is like a systemic problem here in the United States.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: This isn't a right or left issue. Like each one
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: of these tax dollars is our tax dollars. So the
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: response has been, I'd say even better because people are
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: now seeing like, okay, this is like a big issue.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I remember last time, I think it
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: was last time you were here, there was an estimated
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: $ 600 billion in fraud in the U.S. alone.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, 3% to 7% of each tax dollar goes towards
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: fraud here in the United States.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: How much?
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: 3% to 7%. So that means that each American is
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: working 25 days out of the year to pay a fraudster.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Wow. Has there been any response from the California government
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: on this? Other than you running around with a bunch
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: of cameras?
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: They're trying to act like Gavin Newsom did this and
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: that to stop hospices, I think like back in 2021.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: But the problem is you can go and sign something,
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: but if you don't actually stop the bleeding... That means nothing.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Because there is over 1000% increase. There's 1500 hospices in
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: LA County alone. And yeah, good job. You maybe cracked
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: down on 50, 70 of them, but you have a
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: lot more to crack down on. You didn't stop the bleeding.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: It's similar to Minnesota where they had a 10,000% increase
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: in funding for autism. Yet there wasn't a 10,000% of
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: children with autism. So like these governors like to act
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: like they're doing stuff, but they actually never stopped the bleeding.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: And that's where all the fraud is taking place. Like,
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: stop the bleeding, and then maybe you can say, I
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: did something. But until then, like, you're just as complicit
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: as these fraudsters because you know what's happening, but you
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: don't stop the bleeding.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: How many buildings did you go to that were doing this?
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: 89 in one building. I mean, 89?
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so CVS reported on the 89 one. I just
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: went to about an area, probably about... two square miles,
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: and within there, there's the one motel-like building that had
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: like 15 of them in there. There's another one that
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: had about eight inside of it. There was another one
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: that had, it started off as an adult daycare that
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: then transformed themselves into a hospice and a home healthcare.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: So they just got in on all the goods. And altogether,
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: probably around 10.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: 10 different buildings.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: 10 different buildings.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: What are these people saying to you when you bang
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: on the door, when you approach them? Do they speak English?
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Some of them do. A lot of them aren't there.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: And I say, one guy was there, and he said,
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: I'm like, he's like, I've been in this business since 1990-something.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, then what's the justification for a thousand
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: percent increase since you've been in it for so long?
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: And he can't even answer the question. In fact, he
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: blames Dr. Oz.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: He blames Dr. Oz.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: Yes, he blamed Dr. Oz saying that he was making
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: all these allegations, and he even blamed Dr. Oz for
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: being fat. Like, that was pretty funny. In the video,
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: the guy's like, I bought Dr. Oz pills and I'm
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: still fat. I'm like, oh, so you're fat because of Dr.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Oz?
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: He's like, yes, because of Dr.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Oz. Wow. Wow.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: And I'm pulling the information straight from these data sets.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: And so they can't back it up. I'm like, okay.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: And he's like, well, my business is right here. I'm like, okay, great.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Then your business is right here. You're not even registered
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: with CMS. Like, how come you aren't registered with CMS?
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: And then he blames Dr.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Oz.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, well, Dr. Oz has actually been in
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: that position for maybe a year. Yet they've been getting
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: away with this for years.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: What do you think is going to happen with this?
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm super interested to see what happens with this
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: fraud task force. And I do think if there's not
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: prosecutions or people aren't arrested, then like, I think Americans
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: are just going to lose hope, like lose any faith
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: that they have left in the government. Because it is
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: literally out there for in the open, this fraud.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, you just said every 25, Americans spend 25
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: days a year paying for fraud. 25, a month of
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: your Hard work that you are sending to the government
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: is paying for fraud.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It's crazy. And so in some of these programs, too,
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: they're like, oh, well, it's not that much money. Well,
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: your program, your department allows $ 7 billion, and 1.7% of
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: that goes towards fraud. That's $ 100 million. That's how much
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: daycare fraud there is in California. That's a very low estimate,
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: by the way. I'm like, okay, well, that's a lot
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: of money, $ 100 million.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Where are we going next? Are we going daycare fraud,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: voter fraud? What are we doing?
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Voter fraud is very big. And I think that's something
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: that's just like so obvious too. It's like, okay, how
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: come in these Democrat states, they don't want anyone to
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: show their ID? Like in California, they do not want
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: you to show your ID.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: They don't want you to show your ID?
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: They don't want you to show your ID. You don't
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: need to. All you have to do is sign the paper.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: Like a lot of people have told me, well, I've
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: tried to show my ID at the place and they
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: look at it like it's like some sort of cancer.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: Like they're like, don't look at it. Like we don't
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: need to see it.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Are you serious?
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: Yes. So I wanted to see how easy it would
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: be for, let's just say an illegal migrant to vote
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: in California. So this man, he had all the voter register.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: He had all the, he had all the, what are
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: they called? What are they called?
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Sorry.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: He had all the voter rolls. So in California, I
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: wanted to see how bad the fraud was. So I
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: reached out to this man who's been doing his own
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: investigation on this for years. So he had all the
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: voter rolls. And to receive the voter rolls, it's public.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: You can get the voter rolls, but you have to
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: get access from, I believe, from the Secretary of State
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: of California. So he had received all the voter rolls,
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: and he had been going through it for years. And
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: there's so many stuff, so many red flags inside these
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: voter rolls. For instance, you have people who are said
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: to be 126 years old voting, then you go to
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: the house and the person's 80 years old. But they
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: voted in 55 elections. And they don't require ID. You
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: also have people who are registered to UPS boxes. And
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: you can be registered to UPS box, but you cannot
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: have that as your domicile address, which is on the
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: voter rolls. So a lot of people had their addresses
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: to these UPS stores into these PO boxes and you
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: can't actually do that and so there's all these problems
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: that could be solved if you were just to show
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: your voter ID when you go and vote now when
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: you do go and vote in California their way of
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: flagging it is if the signature is not aligned so
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: there's 39 million people or so in California let's say
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: 10 million people go and vote they are literally saying
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: that we are going to scan each and every single signature,
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: and if the signature is not right, that vote will
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: then be investigated.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: And it's the slant of the signature. Right. So who's
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: to say that somebody is not going to go and
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: vote on behalf of Mandy, who's 126 years old, who
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: doesn't even know she's 126 years old, and go up
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: and say she's Mandy and go and vote? So there's
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: so much voter fraud.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: It's insane. This is enraging.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very enraging.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, it all is. It all is. So all
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: you have to do is write a signature?
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: No, nothing else.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: You just have to say you're that person and then
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: sign the signature. In fact, it was so easy to
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: register to vote in California, a lady who was actually
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: a Republican registered her dog to vote. What? and the
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: dog voted in two elections. The first election, it voted successfully.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: The second election, the dog got caught because the person
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: reported herself.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: You mean the signatures lined up?
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: Yes. The dog's signatures lined up, huh? No, the dog
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: registered to vote. Like the dog had its own name, everything,
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: it registered to vote. Like that's how easy it is
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: to register.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: To vote in California.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: And it's funny because then I then go post that
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: video And I'm like, okay, this is like super simple.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: A dog registered to vote. You then have Democrats out
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: defending the dog. They're like, you idiot. That was a Republican.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: I'm like, you realize this isn't a Republican or Democrat issue.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: A dog was able to vote. And the only reason
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: it got caught was because the owner reported herself. And
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: they're like, well, it didn't count. I'm like, no, it counted.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: It voted in that first election. And that vote counted.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: It's very enraging because I'm going about showing people these
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: issues that have become controversial that aren't controversial, and then
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: you have people defending it.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: What are they saying? What are they saying?
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: They literally said, you idiot, that was a Republican who
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: did that, and it got caught. I'm like, no, that
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: dog still voted. You don't have a problem with the
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: fact that a person with that Not a person, a
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: dog without a human body was registered to vote in
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: a U.S. election. Like, we are a first world country.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: We're the best country in the world. Most advanced country.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: Yet a dog is able to vote in our elections.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Do you have any idea how much voter fraud is
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: going on there? How many fraudulent votes? How long this
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: has been going on?
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: A lot. I mean, if you look at the election,
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: the only state that Trump didn't win were states that
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: didn't need voter ID. And those states are more Democrat,
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: and I don't doubt that he didn't win those states,
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: but it's crazy that the only states that didn't require
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: a voter ID are the states that Trump lost.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: What other states don't require voter ID?
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: Minnesota. In fact, in Minnesota, you can vouch on behalf
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: of other people to vote.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: Excuse me?
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: Yes, so on the day of voting in Minnesota, Say
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: you work at a building or people inside your apartment,
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: I believe, you can vouch on behalf of others to vote. So, like,
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: say that person's going to get to the voting place
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: to vote, the voting polls, you can vouch on behalf
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: of other people. So you could take that paper and
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: then have those sign it and then bring it, and
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: you're vouching on behalf of those individuals.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: So you're voting for multiple people?
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: Yes. Well, theoretically, other people... said that's what they wanted
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: and they signed it or whatever. I'm not from Minnesota,
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: so I don't understand exactly how someone goes and vouches
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: for somebody else, but you can literally vouch on behalf
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: of other people.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: So you just take the piece of paper, go around
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: the corner, sign it with a different signature, bring it in,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: be like, oh, yeah, my buddy wants me to vote
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: for him today?
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Theoretically, that could happen. There's no voter ID either.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: Where else?
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: I want to say I know New York as well.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: I don't think they have voter ID. Like, Zora Mundani,
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: he wanted people to show two forms of ID to
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: shovel snow, but you don't actually need an ID to vote. So, like,
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: they're taking all these issues that are not controversial, making
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: them controversial. So it's very bad.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it sounds like it.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: Because essentially, Sean, if your vote doesn't matter, what does matter? Like,
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: if people can't, trust that their vote actually matters? Like,
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: what does matter? Like, we live in a democracy, but
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: how do we know that it's a democracy if our
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: vote doesn't matter?
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: You don't have to write your birthday or anything down.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: You have to say you're that person, and then you sign.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: You might have to say what your birthday is, but
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: it's on the voter rolls. Like, I don't vote in California,
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: but that's how you go. You literally show up to
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: the place, say you're that person, and then they give
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: you the ballot and you vote.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, 125 years old. So if somebody writes their
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: birthday down, it was like 1900. Yeah. That doesn't raise
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: any flags.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: And there's like hundreds of them, like thousands of them.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: And I go to the doors, I knock on the
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: door because I have the address from these voter rolls.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: And they're like, no, she's 81. Like. It is so stupid,
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: and it could be solved if someone were just to
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: show their own ID.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: What's this month-long election process?
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: Yes, they can verify an election for up to a
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: month in California as well. So they have these month-long voting.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: You can vote for a month long, essentially. They can
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: count the votes for a month. How can we live
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: in a country where they take a literal month to vote?
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: And that just gives time for fraud to take place.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: And then you say something like that and they get
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: so mad at you. Like you make a very solid
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: case to show how easy it is for an illegal
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: to vote, for instance. And they get so mad at you. Wow, dude.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: We have some serious problems taking place in the country
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: Has there ever been any chatter about how they're gonna
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: fix this?
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: Well, they're trying to pass the SAVE Act, which would
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: require voter ID in federal elections. In California, they actually just,
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: they got enough signatures to be able to put that on,
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: I think it's a proposition, to require voter ID inside
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: the state of California. And we'll see if it gets passed.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, they still have to enforce it. It's just
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: like what you were saying earlier, what Gavin Newsom said,
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, It's great he tried to fix it, but
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: you still have to enforce it.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you still need to enforce it, and you actually
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: need to serve the people of your state, whether they're
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: Republican or Democrat. If this many people want it, it's
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: not like an 80-20 issue. I would say that's a
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: 90-10 issue. I think everyone can come to their senses
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: and say, we should show our ID when we go
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: and vote.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: What I mean, did you get the pulse of the
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: citizens there? Did you talk to anybody? Do they want that?
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: If you ask anybody and you have a conversation with them,
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: they will come to their senses and say, that makes sense.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: And the majority of people I talk to think it
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: needs to happen. I did speak to one individual. He's like, no,
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: I don't need it. Why would I need that? I'm like, well,
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: you need it when you go to the airport. He's like,
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: even at that, I don't want to do it. I said, well,
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: like that's the thing. That's the logic of that person
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: who doesn't want it. It's like, it's just too much effort.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: How were you received there? Does everybody hate you in California?
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: No, people love me in California.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: Like, literally, everywhere I go, more people love me than
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: don't like me because they're seeing these scams and these
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: fraud take place. It's just that small group that get upset.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: It's the fraudsters. They also happen to be the most outspoken,
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: the most violent, and the most vicious.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: What's going on on Skid Row?
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: Skid Row, they will get homeless people to sign these
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: petitions saying that there's somebody to get enough names to
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: then pass like propositions or to be able to pass
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: bills or to be able to like, they'll use homeless
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: people to get votes, to be able to go through
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: with whatever political campaigns taking place. That's been happening for
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: a long time. So like Cam Higbee, James O'Keefe, they
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: did a very good expose on that showing like how
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: easy it is. And people are paying people like five bucks,
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: here's five bucks for a signature. I've seen that take
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: place on Skid Row as well.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: I got something here, children living in tents in Skid Row.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: What is that all about?
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so then Skid Row, I saved a kid and
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: his mom who were homeless. They had been homeless for
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: about 10 days or so on Skid Row. And I
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: put them in a hotel, put it on my social
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: media saying, this is happening. And within a few days,
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: we got the kid out of the streets and into...
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: a shelter where he's now enrolled into school. Meanwhile, there's
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: NGOs that receive millions of dollars inside of Skid Row,
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: and they left the kid and his mom all alone,
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: sleeping in a tent next to drug addicts, next to
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: gang members.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: This is like a legit single mother trying to care
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: for her kids, living in a fucking tent in Skid Row.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because a lot of homeless people It maybe happens
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: to him for a week or it happens to him
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: for two weeks They're trying to they get kicked out
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: of a house and then you get they need to
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: get that put back on their feet and so then
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: they become homeless, but they have these kids and These
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: kids should be like the number one priority for a
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: state And so I was filming this whole separate video
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: and I see this kid in this tent I said
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: well like who am I to go out and do
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: this journalism? Or who am I to go show people
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: what's happening and actually not be a part of the solution.
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: So I I see this kid, I'm like, okay, well,
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: this is not happening. We're not gonna let you sleep
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: here in this tent. We're gonna get you in a hotel.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna make sure we get the hotel and we're
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: gonna send your mom $ 500 and by that time, we're
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: gonna find somebody to take care of you and your mom.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: So within literally three days, we were able to get
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: a kid off the street of Skid Row into a
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: hotel and then into a housing system that then gets
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: him enrolled into school. And it had nothing to do
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: with the government.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: Good man. Good man. How bad is it? I mean,
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: you've been to California a couple times before, right? It's
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: really bad. Has there been any improvements?
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: No. In fact, it honestly just gets worse.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: Describe to me how bad it is.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: Like, homeless-wise, it's everywhere.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: What do you mean, everywhere?
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: Like, you'll be in Beverly Hills, one block away, you'll
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: have a person passed out on fentanyl. or you'll have
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: a person living in a tent. And the quality of
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: life there for... People have just come to their senses like, oh,
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: we're just going to live with it. But you don't
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: actually have to live like that. This wasn't happening 20,
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: 30 years ago. From everyone I talked to in California,
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: they're like, this is not what California was. That's why
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: people are so upset about it. Because now you have
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: these people hooked on fentanyl, they're doing drugs, and then
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: you have a state that continues to give billions and
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: billions of money, but it just gets worse and worse.
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: And so.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: This homeless industrial complex that they've created inside of California,
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: they've figured out that if they receive more money, well,
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: if we receive more money, why would we stop the solution?
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: Because then we stop receiving more money. And so each person,
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: each NGO is actually incentivized to keep the homeless going.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: Because it makes them more money. They're able to buy
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: more properties with that money. They're able to build up
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: their assets. And they're able to get rich while homeless
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: continues to run like rampant.
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: Wait, so people are opening shelters?
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: Yes. So I have another video coming out that I
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: haven't posted yet. And in that video, we kind of
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: investigate the homeless industrial complex. And we see where all
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: this money is going. Because, for instance, $ 24 billion went
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: unaccounted for just a few years ago. Nobody knows where
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: that money went. Well, money goes somewhere, so you can
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: track it. And a lot of these NGOs, they go
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: up and buy these hotels or they buy these apartment complexes.
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: And a lot of times, they're actually not even housing
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: homeless people. They're housing low-income individuals that are then on
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: Section 8. And so then the NGOs then continue to
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: receive money from the government who pay the Section 8.
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: So the person renting the apartment might only have to
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: pay $ 30 Meanwhile, the government's giving them $ 1, 800 for that apartment.
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: And so these NGOs, then they just continue to buy
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: up these apartment complexes or these hotels, and they just
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: accumulate more and more and more in assets.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: So this is a big business.
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: Big business.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: Is this happening everywhere?
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: California is, like, the worst of it. I think it
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: does happen in other states. Like, for instance, in New
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: York City, they're... Average spend for a homeless person is $ 81, 000.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: That's more than the median household income inside of New
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: York City. So to take care of one homeless person,
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: it's $ 81, 000 in New York City. $ 81, 000.
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: That's how much money. What does that go to?
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: To the housing.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: Literally, who knows?
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: One of the key aspects is the housing. But $ 81, 000.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: And that's more than the median income.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just equal.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: I need you to stop what you're doing for a
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: second and really listen. If someone relies on your income

  Speaker 1: and health questions. Most gear looks good until you actually
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: start using it. Then you find out pretty quickly what
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: holds up and what doesn't. That's why I keep coming
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: back to Roka. These aren't just lifestyle sunglasses pretending to
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: be performance gear. I've worn mine training, on the range, traveling,
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: and outdoors for long days, and they stay locked in
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: place the entire time. They're incredibly lightweight, the optics are
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: razor sharp with zero glare, and you honestly forget you're
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: even wearing them. But, They still look clean enough to
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: wear anywhere. Not overly tactical, just modern, functional design that
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: works every day. Roka was born in Austin, Texas, and
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: everything about them reflects that performance-first mindset. And if you
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: need prescription lenses, they offer both sunglasses and eyeglasses options
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: built to the same standard. And whether you're outfitting a
• 48:17

• 48:25

  Speaker 2: And it wasn't like that five, 10 years ago.
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: There's like nothing in this country that makes a damn
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: bit of sense anymore. No.
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: And it's actually, it just pisses me off. And I
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: think that's why you're starting to see so many people
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: look at these issues and be like, okay, let's just
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: figure this out because this is costing everyone so much money.
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: Our quality of life is actually not getting better. And
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: we're just seeing a lot of these politicians, these NGOs
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: enrich themselves. Meanwhile, we're still doing our day-to-day, working hard,
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: paying taxes, and all this corruption.
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: Our country looks like shit. I mean, you're describing it
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: right now. Tents, fentanyl needles, bums everywhere, fucking trash all
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: over the place, our road system sucks, our power grid
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: fucking sucks. I mean, it's... Then you go to some
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: other countries, it doesn't fucking look like that. No. Not everywhere. But,
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: you know, we keep getting fed this fucking nonsense. Oh,
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: we're the best country in the world. I don't know.
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: Are we? Are we? We should be. You're damn right
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: we should be. That's what makes me mad. It looks
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: like shit here.
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it really does. In every big city in America,
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: you can go somewhere and you'll see people passed out
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: on fentanyl, for instance. I literally walked over a dead
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: body in San Francisco. and then a little kid then
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: walked over that dead body.
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, man.
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: And so it's like this suicidal empathy that's killing our country,
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: and then when you do try to bring out the solution,
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: you're attacked. Like, people come after you for trying to create.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: It's interesting. I mean, who's... That's what I... I mean,
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: that's why I was asking, when you go to California
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: or any of these other places, you know, how are
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: you treated? You're telling me that everybody... loves you there
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: they want you there they want you to uncover this
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: shit where are the attacks coming from because i see
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: it i see it on your social they're just hammering
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: you i saw the meme from nuisance team so that's the.
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: Problem is you like even if it's one percent that's
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: a few million people like in the country so if
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: it's one percent that's three million people which is a
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: ton of people and they're going to be a lot
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: louder than the other 300 million. So I'll give you
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: like a good example. I'm at this gas station in California.
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: Some guy comes up and he yells like, F you,
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: Nick Shirley. At the same time, some other man comes
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: up to me. He grabs my hand and he says,
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: you have no idea how many people are praying for you.
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: And so, and he says it super silent, like very quietly,
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: very humble. Meanwhile, you have this other person yelling, F you,
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: Nick Shirley. So you have that 1% that is literally crazy,
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: like literally insane. And then you have the vast majority
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: who see what you're doing and are supporting you. But
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: that 1% is a lot of people. If you're in
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: a crowd of... If you're in a big crowd, 1%
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: can make a big difference.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: What is this new video you said you're working on?
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be about... the homeless industrial complex
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: in California.
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: What else you got? When's this releasing?
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to come out in the coming weeks.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: I've been traveling a lot, so I need to sit
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: down and be able to edit it all. I'm working
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: on that. I have some other fraud cases I'm looking into.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: You want to talk about it? This isn't going to
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: come out for a couple weeks.
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we can talk about it.
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: Let's do it.
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: Essentially, these NGOs are literally just becoming like these mega
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: enterprises that are receiving millions and millions of dollars. And
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, some NGOs, their assets are upwards of half
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: a billion dollars.
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: Half a billion dollars?
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: Yes, they've been able to accumulate that much money and assets.
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: And they'll buy like a hotel, for instance, and then
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: they'll value that hotel room for $ 200, 000. And it's really
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: like a 10 by 10 room with a shower in
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: the back. And these aren't just in bad areas. Like
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: one of the parts I'll show in my video is
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: a hotel in Encino, California. That's one of the wealthiest
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: zip codes in the Los Angeles area, just next to
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: it are $ 10 million mansions, and they're going to be
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: bringing in troubled youth and homeless individuals into this hotel
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: next to these $ 10 million mansions.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: I bet they love that.
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then people are still going to vote for
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: a Democrat. People are still going to vote for the
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: people that continue to let this happen. I think Karen
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: Bass is still going to win Hopefully she doesn't, but
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: I think she might win for mayor again in L.A.
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, boy. Oh, man. How about the theft? You remember, well,
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: right before, I guess for the past about four years,
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: we've just been seeing just mobs of people, Ramsac, Target,
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: jewelry stores, the Apple store, anything in sight. Is that
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: stuff still going on? Have you seen that stuff going
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: on still?
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: I think that slowed down. I think they changed whatever
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: was allowing people to steal upwards of $ 900 and.
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: Walk away. They did change that. I think they did. What,
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: did they start enforcing the law?
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: I think they started to enforce the law. I'm not
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: 100% sure on that, but I know at one point
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: you were able to steal, I believe, upwards of $ 900.
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: Do you think that was over-embellished? What do you mean
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: by that? Do you think there... Do you think that
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: the media was over-embellishing how common that was? No. I
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: have no idea. I don't go there. I don't go
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: to California. I see what I see. I don't need
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: to go there.
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: No, they weren't, actually. In CVS, you have to literally
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: wait for somebody to come and unlock the door so
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: you can buy deodorant. People were stealing everything. In fact,
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: if you just wait around long enough at a CVS
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: in California... you'll catch someone shoplifting. And a lot of
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: the stores are just like leaving. They did a lot
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: of damage to the country underneath Biden. Like underneath from
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: like 2020 to 2024, a lot of damage took place.
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: Like damage that is hard to fix.
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: What do you think motivated them to start enforcing the law?
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: People leaving the state.
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: A lot of.
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: High wealth individuals decided to leave. People complain.
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: They all left for taxes.
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean, just like the average person who's
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: living inside that city, they don't want to have to
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: live with that. Like, a mom shouldn't have to worry
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: about her son walking over a dead body like I
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: saw in San Francisco.
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: It's like this suicidal empathy that's killing the country. And
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: like this straight up delusion. Like, just brainwashing. Like, people
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: can't think critical these days, I feel like.
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: Well, that's no shit. What else you got coming up?
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: You know... What's piquing your interest?
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: Like, the fraud's really bad. I do want to get
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: back to doing some, like, international videos. Like, I did
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: a lot of, like, work in, like, El Salvador, where
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: I went and showed what was happening. Like, that was
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: super fun to go, and I was, like, the first
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: one ever to report on the prisons there or to
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: go to the favelas in Brazil. It's just now harder
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: for me to, like, move around in the United States, like,
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: go film a video.
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll bet it is.
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: Because the fraudsters, like, they're on high alert. Protesters are
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: on high alert, too. Because a lot of the protesting
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: here in the United States isn't organic, either. And they're
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: that crazy 1%. Because I was popular before all this stuff. Like,
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: I still had, like, millions of followers. And now it's
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: gone up exponentially. And, uh, Fraudsters always complain the loudest
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: and they don't want to be exposed.
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: You're going to have to come up with some good disguises.
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: I know. That's what people keep telling me to do.
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: But also, I actually like just going as I am. Like, okay,
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: answer the question. If you have nothing to hide, just
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: answer the question. If you do, you're going to run
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: or you're going to scream and shout and you're going
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: to expose yourself.
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: Are you getting a report back to the administration now?
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: Do you have a direct line in?
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: No, like me, I think that's why I've been so
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: effective because I'm not working for the federal government. I'm
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: just a one man going out and doing it. And
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: if they want to see the video on X or
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: on YouTube and then go investigate, go ahead. I wouldn't
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: mind if they like sent me, opened up some of
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: the databases. Like I think they should open up all
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: the databases to the public. And that's why they're actually
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: having such a big problem with like fraud in like
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: New York, for instance, like the home healthcare is like
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: the number one business inside of New York right now
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: is home health care people will sign up to watch
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: their grandmas and make money from the government but New
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: York doesn't want to give over that information which is
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: a which is a problem.
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: Have you been in contact with Newsom not really no
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: no he did have some uh key points California acted
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: first he signed the senate bill 6-6-4 in 2001 to
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: ban all new hospice licenses, years before the Trump administration
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: started talking about the issue and extended the moratorium through
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: January of 2027. California is a top fraud recovery state.
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: California ranked fourth in the U.S. in 2020 foreign dollars
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: received per medical enrollee across California. Civil and criminal investigations
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: leading all other large states including Texas, Florida, and New York.
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: Trump dismantled federal oversight. Have you heard all this stuff?
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: I've heard about him with the moratorium. I think that,
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: but like I said, the damage had already been done. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: I got a hot question for you. You ready? Ready.
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: All right. So we actually use Claude AI to scrape
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: the internet for the most viral moments tied to your name.
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: And here's what it came up with. There was some
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: controversy around your channel five interview with Andrew Callahan. A
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: lot of people online were bashing you online for the
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: word benevolent. What, what's your response to that interview?
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that interview with Andrew, it was a two and
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: a half hour long interview. He cut it down to
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: an hour long interview. So imagine me and you have
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: this conversation for two hours and you just chop out
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: an hour.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: Of the conversation. Everything that you say? Yeah.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: That's not how a podcast works.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: Oh, man.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: And that was very messed up on his part, I believe,
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: to go about doing that. I was very kind. I
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: let him come to the location where I had I
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: told him to film it. He actually made me mad too.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: But first, so I was like 72 hours after I
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: posted the video. I'd been functioning off of literally like
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: six hours of sleep that day. Or six hours of
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: sleep those past three days. I said, like, me and
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: Andrew are boys. Let's do the interview. I'm like, I'm
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: down to have a conversation. In the text prior, he's like, oh,
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: I've been getting docs and stuff like that. I said, yeah. Like,
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: here's the location. Come film. And so then I see
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: the interview, and I'm like, wait, what is this? Like,
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: this is, like, all chopped up. You don't put in
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: your answers to the questions where you know you were
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: wrong as well. Like, that's not a fair interview. And
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: luckily I had filmed it on the back end too.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: Nice. Did you release it?
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I released it.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: Good man.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: And I'm not going to say that was my best
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: interview by any means. Like, I wasn't functioning at 100%,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: to be honest. I just thought, like, I thought we
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: were boys. And obviously we aren't. And yeah, I mean,
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: I messed up on the word benevolent. My bad.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: Have you heard from him since?
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: He then made a full reaction video to the video.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: And what makes me mad is he knew that, not
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: to say the city I was in. And he does
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: that in the reaction video. I was like, Cable, you
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: just doxxed me.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: What an asshole. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: Wow. You just met Elon Musk and you were awarded $ 100, 000
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: from X for your investigative article. What was your conversation
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: with Elon Musk? And is there something bigger coming between
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: you and Elon that you haven't announced yet?
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: I think we both just wanted to meet each other.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: And the first thing I said to Elon was just like,
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: thank you. I said like, thank you for X for
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: having a platform where real world change can take place.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: So all these other social media platforms like YouTube, for instance,
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: I post that Minnesota video. It got 4 million views.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: I post on X and got 150 million views. And
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: within seven days, uh, all together across all social media,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: across the internet, that video got 4 billion.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: Whoa. Whoa. 4 billion. Holy shit, dude. Yes. And I said,
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: thank you. My whole channel has like 2 billion views.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So that Minnesota video is the most viral video
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: potentially ever in the internet. The most viral video on X.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: That's what they told me on X as well. And
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: so I said like, thank you. Like your platform is
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: where real world change can happen. This can't happen anywhere else.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: And I don't think too many people actually like say
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: thank you to Elon Musk. Like do people realize what
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: he's actually done for society? Like, between Starlink, between Tesla,
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: between X, between the tunnels, like, do people realize how
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: much this man has done?
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: PayPal, too.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: Like, do people actually realize how much impact this man
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: has had on society? And everyone just wants to demonize
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: Elon Musk. And so I'm sitting there, I'm looking at him,
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: just eye to eye, and I'm like, I'm like, wow,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: this man has done a lot for society, and he's
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: taking his time to just talk with me. I think
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: we both just wanted to meet each other and to
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: have a conversation.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, not only that, he's also motivated an entire
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: new generation of innovators. I mean, they're all building, not
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: all of them, but a lot of them. I interview
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: a lot of them. That's their inspiration. And a lot
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: of them are building, are innovating, things that are going
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: to go along with his mission to Mars or whatever, whatever.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just, it's, it's, it's huge.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: 100%. He's inspired.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: And just like the drive to still be doing this.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: Like he doesn't need to be like, he's not money driven.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: And everyone wants to get mad at him for having money.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: I'm like, that's just what happens when you provide such
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: value to the world.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: And, uh, So we talk and I was super nervous
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: to initially go in there because like the first floor
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: of X is like the first there's the first floor
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: of X is kind of like more like a common area.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: And like there's like a cafeteria and they have their
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: offices where they're doing certain stuff. And then you get
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: up to the second level where he's at. And that's
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: like more more like serious vibe. Like all the lights
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: are dimmed. There's a lot more. a lot more like
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: artwork of like the space X, like the, like X,
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: like the, the galaxy and stuff like that. And then
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: you get back to where Elon is and he has
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: all his security and there's windows and he has, uh,
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: security everywhere. Like almost nearly every single window, there's a
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: security guard. And so then his assistant comes and grabs
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: me and I walk over to Elon and take my hand,
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: take me in. We have this conversation and we, like,
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: like I said, the first thing I said is like,
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: thank you. Like for what you've done. And I told
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: him some things I think that X could improve on.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: And then I was super nervous. I had a whole
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: itinerary of stuff I thought I was going to have
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: to lead this conversation. And then we just started talking
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: about the fraud and his experience with exposing the fraud
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: and how incompetent the government can be at times. He
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: told me in PayPal, when they were building PayPal, they'd
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: make these cases of the people that are committing the
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: fraud and give them to the FBI. And he'd be like, go, like,
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: arrest these people. And the FBI wouldn't do it, or
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: it would take a longer time. And he kind of
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: talked about how kind of incompetent the government can be.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: And then we just talked about, like, how corrupt it
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: is and, like, how suppressed we could become and what
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: will happen if we do become suppressed and oppressed from
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: the government.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: What does he say will happen?
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: Potentially like a war could break out or states could
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: start to secede. We talked, I mentioned like, yeah, like
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: one of the reasons why I got into this is
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: because I started to see what's happening in the UK.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: I told him this and he's like, I can't even
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: go to the UK. He's like, he said, I think
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: I'd be arrested. And he says, people don't realize how
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: bad it is until we are oppressed to a point. Yeah.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine being in my position just like sitting
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: there talking with Elon? It was very surreal.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: I'll bet it was, man. I'll bet it was.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: You want to hear something funny, though?
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: So I probably had like the craziest 72 hours of
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: my life because within 72 hours, I met the richest
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: man in the world. Then the most powerful man in
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: the world talks about me in a cabinet meeting. And
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: then I meet the vice president as well. All within
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: 72 hours.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: Pretty wild, isn't it? Yeah.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: I also went to seven different states in between those
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: 72 hours to make all this stuff happen.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: Life's a hell of a ride, isn't it?
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it really is.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: It's fun. I'll bet. It's awesome. Well, Nick, I can't
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: wait to see what you got coming next.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: Keep going, man. I will. It's important.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: Thank you. You've been actually one of the first One
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: of the first people who openly supported me, I remember
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: seeing your tweets, like, you said something about, like, this
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 2: kid has it, essentially. And then someone's like, what makes
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: you think that? And you literally said, just wait and see.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: I was right, wasn't I?
