**Shawn Ryan** (1:06)
Nick Shirley, didn't expect to see you back so soon.

**Nick Shirley** (1:09)
Yeah, me neither.

**Shawn Ryan** (1:10)
What are you, turns out there's lots of fraud to uncover in the United States, huh?

**Nick Shirley** (1:17)
There is so much fraud here in the United States, it's unbelievable.

**Shawn Ryan** (1:21)
Dude, did you, so hold on, did you go right to California from Minnesota?

**Nick Shirley** (1:27)
So after Minnesota, I was like, okay, the threats are pretty high right now after exposing like billions of dollars, let me focus on something different, but let me still focus on fraud. So I focused on election fraud in California. I was like, that would maybe take a little bit of the pressure off me for a little bit as far as like the death threats and just like going, having a group like the Somalians coming after me. So I was like, okay, let's go up to election fraud. And then a few weeks later, I then did go after the hospice fraud.
And that was bad.

**Shawn Ryan** (1:56)
Why did you pick California election fraud? I'm just curious.

**Nick Shirley** (2:00)
Because they're the biggest state in the country, and they're one of the states that won't require voter ID. So I really just want to show people how easy it is to vote in an election here inside the United States, in a place that does not require voter ID.

**Shawn Ryan** (2:13)
Have you heard of... We're going to get into that. I'm just curious. I've been hearing a lot of the voter frauds coming out of Venezuela, like from a national standpoint. Have you heard this shit?

**Nick Shirley** (2:27)
I really haven't.

**Shawn Ryan** (2:28)
You haven't?

**Nick Shirley** (2:29)
I heard like the, maybe like the Dominion Machines are there.

**Shawn Ryan** (2:32)
Yes.

**Nick Shirley** (2:33)
I haven't looked into it.

**Shawn Ryan** (2:34)
Smartmatic. Is that who owns them? I don't know. This is all allegedly, allegedly. But I've been hearing a lot of sources talking about that it all is orchestrated from Venezuela.
But I'm just curious. I would like to go to Venezuela. It's very, I don't know if I should say conspiracy-ish, but I can't think of another word right now. It's kind of conspiracy-ish. So I haven't really touched on it yet, because I can't, you know, there's a lot of wild shit out there. But I'm hearing it more and more and more.

**Nick Shirley** (3:10)
If you can hook me up with a group of special op guys to go out to Venezuela, I'll go look into it.

**Shawn Ryan** (3:14)
I know a couple of special op guys that will go to Venezuela with you. So yeah, actually, I will fucking hook you up. I'll call them up tonight and see if they will be interested in going down with you.

**Nick Shirley** (3:25)
I'm down. Ablo Espanol, I'm ready.

**Shawn Ryan** (3:28)
Do you really?

**Nick Shirley** (3:29)
Yeah, I speak fluent Spanish.

**Shawn Ryan** (3:30)
No shit. Where'd you learn that?

**Nick Shirley** (3:32)
In Chile, Santiago.

**Shawn Ryan** (3:35)
Mission trip.

**Nick Shirley** (3:36)
Yep.

**Shawn Ryan** (3:36)
Nice, nice.

**Nick Shirley** (3:38)
I'm a dual threat.
