Chapter 1: What did Nick Shirley experience during his trip to Cuba?
This gets really crazy, actually. You're actually the first person who's ever seen this. None of the gas stations are even in operation right now because there's quite literally no gas. You almost got taken hostage while you were there. Yeah, so the president of Cuba knew that we were there. Like, we've been monitoring you guys. What do you think is going to actually end up happening to Cuba?
Their monthly salaries, $14 USD. One person said they haven't had eggs in a year. What's the latest with you and Nussel?
Chapter 2: How did Cuban intelligence react to Nick's presence in Cuba?
What do you think about the Stop Nick Shirley Act? Stop Nick Shirley Act. I think you're a psycho scam artist. It's so bad in California. Like, so bad. Nobody knows how bad it is, except for the people living in California. Quality leering center. Ilhan Omar, she needs to get prosecuted or she needs to get deported. There's evidence that she did marry her brother.
Candace Owens came after me a while back.
Chapter 3: What are the living conditions like in Cuba under communism?
That was very interesting. Why would Candace Owens come after you? Nick Shirley, how you doing? Amazing. Good seeing you again. Last time we did this was what? New Year's Eve? New Year's Eve. It's been a crazy four months. Yes.
Chapter 4: What is the significance of the 'Stop Nick Shirley Act'?
And we got a lot of things to talk about, but you just got back from Cuba. Out of all the places you can go to, why Cuba? I've been wanting to go to Cuba for the past year or so. Okay. Because I've been tracking the rise of communism, socialism here inside the United States.
And so I've been wanting to make a video for a long time going to a communist country to show people what life is like inside a communist country. And I've been monitoring the situation with Rubio, what he's been saying, what Trump's been saying. I said, well, this is probably my last few weeks to do it before they take over.
Mm-hmm.
And so I just hopped on the flight, bought my ticket, and coordinated with security.
Chapter 5: How does Nick Shirley's work relate to current fraud investigations?
Everyone was telling me, Nick, do not go. My parents were like, do not go. Security was like, Nick, do not go. Everyone was telling me, do not go. I was like, well, I'm going to go because people deserve to see what's happening. And so I went and, yeah, I almost got taken hostage. You almost got taken hostage while you were there? Yeah. So walk me through who you went through.
Was it just security?
Chapter 6: What does Nick Shirley reveal about the situation on Skid Row?
Did you take your brother? Did family go with you? Yeah, so it was just me and two of my security guards. One's actually a Cuban-American, and the other one also speaks Spanish. So I had two guys who spoke Spanish. I also speak fluent Spanish. However, when you go to different countries, each Spanish is a little bit different, like... They have different slang and whatnot.
And so these guys I went with, they had done operations like anti-human trafficking operations in Haiti, in Mexico. And so they're very well versed in these hostile situations.
Chapter 7: How does Nick plan to expand his journalism efforts?
And when we arrived to the airport, we had done everything correct. I had my visa and it was for journalistic activities. And I get there, and right as I get there, they take all my... I only brought two GoPros and some DJI microphones. They take all of that.
and my metaglasses as well however luckily I had a very small microphone that I had at the very bottom of my backpack and the guy's finger just like scuffed it and he let me he and he didn't notice that I had that microphone so I had my iPhone and these people were literally we were with them for probably hour to two hours as they were trying to figure out what we were doing and
I was telling him, I'm just here to make a video. Like I said, I have my visa right here, and I just want to show people what's going on here in Cuba. And it turned into kind of a big ordeal where they brought in, like, a bunch of other people to come ask me questions and touch the gear, seeing what was, it was like foreign objects to them, like the meta glasses.
Chapter 8: What are Nick Shirley's thoughts on the future of Cuba?
They were like analyzing the meta glasses like they, like some crazy foreign object. Because they've never seen it before. Yeah. That stuff's not going to be out there. Now, what was their biggest, like, did they recognize you? Did they know who you were or no? Not from the get-go. I don't think so. And then they asked me, what kind of videos do you make?
I was like, well, I just go around the world showing people what's going on with journalism. And I told them my name. And then one of the ladies was like, one of the ladies said, he's up to no good. Like, Trump probably sent him or something like that. One of the ladies said that? Yeah, she said, Trump probably sent him. Because I was the only American in the airport.
Like I'm the only gringo there. And I have these two security guards with me. And literally the only white American male there. Interesting. So did you get anything back or no? The cameras, all this stuff? I ended up getting it back when I left the airport the next day. I was planning on being there for three days. And it turned into 24 hours. So everything you shot and recorded is on an iPhone?
Yeah. iPhone and one of those mics. That's all you can, that's all you went with. It's all I had was an iPhone, my microphones. They took like the stabilizer. That's like the most simple stabilizer. Um, they took that and I was just filming with a GoPros and a iPhone and they took the GoPros obviously. So now while you're in the airport, who else is coming to you? Is other security coming?
Is there intel coming? Is the military showing up? Is it a big spectacle or is it fairly low key in a different private room where nobody sees it? No, it was out in the open. So right as I get there, they then take me back to this different area. And from there, they had two people working this desk and then they ended up bringing in three other people.
And there was like the boss of the airport and then two other people. They were literally writing everything down on a piece of paper. Like they don't have computers inside of the airport. So they're literally writing everything down pen and paper. And the paper is not even a sheet of paper. It's a receipt. Like an empty receipt. You didn't see one computer in the airport? No.
It was all pen and paper. As far as when they were taking my... So now when you leave the airport, are they following you? Do you feel like people around trying to watch to see what you're there for? Well, as soon as we leave the airport, we're getting followed. They put people on us from the get-go.
And so everything... What people don't realize about communism is everyone is essentially working for the government if they have a job, especially in a location like an airport, especially at the hotels as well. So it creates a whole entire society where everyone just...
snitches on each other because then that helps them and nobody knows about that no one speaks about that about communism you only hear that from people who escape north korea uh like you know me park i don't know if you ever met her she told me about that so when i was there i was like whoa this is like north korea everyone's just like snitching on each other or everyone's surveilling and then ready to report to make themselves funny you say that you ever seen a movie the tetris the story of tetris no i have not rob can you pull up the tetris movie
