From Carolla One Studios in Glendale, California, this is The Adam Carolla Show.
Adam's guest today, Nick Shirley. Congressional Representative Brandon Gill. And the news with Andrew Hobson and now, Adam Carolla.

**Adam Carolla** (1:50)
Thanks, you guys.
I was walking out thinking, what chair should I sit in? And then I realized when I did Love Line with Dr. Drew, I always sat on the one on the left. That's before your time, son.

**Nick Shirley** (2:01)
Yeah, I don't get that reference.

**Adam Carolla** (2:06)
We're off to a flying start. Well, I mean, let's all feel old for a second. What year were you born, Nick?

**Nick Shirley** (2:16)
2002

**Adam Carolla** (2:20)
2002 We had all loved and lost by then.
So obviously, everyone's seen your stuff online. It really captured the zeitgeist of what I think a lot of us are feeling, which is the government, I'm in California and I make a pretty good living and the government keeps wanting more money from me and I keep thinking, maybe you should stop squandering the money we're giving you, and you went out and unearthed it and brought it to light. But what was your journey? I know you're on YouTube and you did videos and you did stuff before that. What brought you to fraud?

**Nick Shirley** (3:04)
Yeah, it's kind of interesting. So I've been making YouTube videos since I was 15 years old, and for the past now about nine years, I've been uploading a video every single week since I was 15
And as I got older, I started looking into what was going on in the world. It turns out the world is very, very corrupt.
And around 2020, I started looking into politics a little bit more, but you couldn't really post anything without being censored. I remember I made a video and I put the word Trump in the title. And that video got demonetized, which means you can't make money. And then I took a two year break, came back, and I had learned Spanish, and then from there, I started investigating what was going on at the border. And from that point on, for the past, now about two and a half years, every week I made a video about what's going on here in America. And the fraud was just so bad in Minnesota that it was inevitable somebody was finally able to do something about it, and it just happened to be me.

**Adam Carolla** (4:02)
Yeah, I find it fascinating that you're uncovering fraud, or Elon Musk is uncovering fraud, and the way the left reacts is to burn down the dealerships he owns, or to put a target on your back, or make some sort of legislation that prevents you from uncovering what you're uncovering. I know we're pretty polarized, but did you think you'd get this much pushback from the left?

**Nick Shirley** (4:33)
No, I thought like, oh, fraud, it's your money, my money.
Let's all celebrate that it gets exposed. But no, they were so angry that it got exposed. And I wondered, wait, why are you guys angry that this money is getting exposed? Like, they literally have a leering center.
