Tyler Oliveira Labeled Antisemitic for Calling Out Fraud | Episode 143
28 Feb 2026
Chapter 1: Why is Tyler Oliveira being labeled antisemitic?
So the world loved Nick Shirley and Tyler Oliveira when they were exposing Somali fraud, the daycares, when Tyler was exposing the cat-eating Haitian immigrants, but now that Tyler has released multiple videos looking into a welfare-dependent Jewish community in New Jersey and Nick is encouraging it and supporting him, well the internet is of course turning on them and calling them anti-Semitic.
It is incredibly hypocritical, in my opinion, and we will talk about but it is also very par for the course. Now, you guys might remember, but I have talked about both Tyler and Nick on this show recently. We talked about Tyler a few months ago while he was getting canceled by the online Indian community after going to the Indian poop throwing festival and letting us all into that world.
Of course, we talked about Nick when he was going viral for exposing the Somali daycare fraud. And for both of them, I think it's important to note these types of videos, that is their entire shtick. They go to crazy places. They confront people. They do these man on the street interviews. They expose fraud.
Like in every single video, it feels like they are showing us the underbelly of the world that the mainstream media often avoids. And all of these videos almost always piss off somebody. Usually it's the people that is being exposed, but these videos are never welcomed by the entire world.
I would say that in dealing with the two guys, like Nick is definitely a bit sweeter and like less controversial when it comes to his presentation. But like Tyler, he is a traditional YouTuber through and through. He writes catchy titles and makes edgy, just like wild thumbnails.
And if you've worked in marketing and YouTube, or if you like are a big YouTube consumer, you know that this is very common. It's often called like the Mr. Beast strategy, but that is very much what he does. Anyway. Just like laying the groundwork there so we're all on the same page. A month ago, Tyler released an expose video very similar to Nick's Somali daycare fraud video.
But instead, that video was on a Jewish community in upstate New York living off of welfare. And now three days ago, Tyler released a follow-up video. This one was on a different town, Lakewood, New Jersey, and you can see both of them here on his channel. So let's just watch the trailer for this most recent video.
This is Lakewood, New Jersey, one of the largest Orthodox Jewish communities in America. How large are the families out here?
Anywhere from 6 to 12 children.

Chapter 2: What controversies surround Tyler's investigation into welfare reliance?
This is probably 99.9% religious. Basically, this community is allowed to police themselves. Yeah, the trash cans. We have a problem now in Jackson with rats, which we've never had before. They don't want to live amongst us. They don't want to live with us. They just want to live and not have us be part of their lives. I don't think it was nice how you portrayed the Jewish people.
Are we talking about Curious Joel? Yes. When you came to Curious Joel, what was the agenda? What was the... There was no agenda. I didn't know what I'd even find. But there was still an agenda in mind. There's a reason why you came down to Curious Joel, right? I'm just trying to learn. What do you actually think I got wrong about it? I just think there was agenda.
What? Hello! Alright, so I'm not sure what the strategy is. How are you doing? Uh... I think I'm going to sue him. That honk was promised to him. His kid's in there, he's doing that? As we were trying to escape from the Jews honking at us from all directions, turns out I had summoned the Shamrim police, the Jewish community's internal police force. We got multiple calls.
I'd say 150 calls by you already. What are they calling about? People trying to live a quiet life on here. Now the full video is like an hour and 20 minutes long, but what we need to talk about today is why both Nick and Tyler are now getting canceled.

All right, so let's just dive on into this story and see how many people I can piss off today.
So for a little more context, Tyler's first video that he did a month ago back in January was on a town called Curious Joelle. And essentially what he found in that first video in this town was that most of the community is made up of these ginormous families and they were living off of welfare and food stamps.
But this first video and Tyler's accusations, or I guess findings, I would say, were not out of nowhere. People have been talking about this community for years. There was even a New York Times expose done on them back in 2011.
And at the time, the New York Times found that 70% of the community lives below the poverty line with a median income of $18,000 a year, and that the majority of them are on welfare. They wrote, women marry young. Obviously, that makes sense. It's Orthodox Jewish community. and they remain in the village to raise their families, and according to religious structures, do not use birth control.
As a result, the median age, under 12, is the lowest in the country, and the household size, nearly six, is the highest. Mothers rarely work outside of the home while their children are young. Most residents raised as Yiddish speakers do not speak much English, and most men devote themselves to Torah and Talmud studies rather than academic training.

Chapter 3: How does Tyler's previous content compare to his recent videos?
Okay. What do you, what food do you sell? Chocolates. What? How do you afford to study the Torah though? God helped me. Does the American taxpayer help you too? Oh, so yes. Yeah. Are you a student of the Torah? Yes.
Chapter 4: What findings did Tyler uncover about the Jewish community in New Jersey?
Do you work a job for money?
I?
Yeah. Does your wife? Yes. She does. Does your wife go to work to make money and you study Torah?
Where are you?
Tyler. Good to meet you. Excuse me. Do you guys take EBT?
We do.
Like do most people come in here and use EBT? Yeah. Okay. What percentage of people would you say use EBT for their groceries here? 100%. 100%? Wow. He said 100%. What percentage would you say? What would be your estimate? So obviously back in January when Tyler posted this, this video went mega viral and basically everyone was angry for a myriad of different reasons.
Some people were angry because they thought it was anti-semitic but most people were just angry because much like with the Somali fraud and everything that Nick Shirley exposed, just like normal everyday hard-working American taxpayers who play by the rules and do everything right are simply fed up with people
from all different backgrounds, all different races, who gamify the system and who benefit from their hard work. Like that is what people are upset about. Somebody commented on that YouTube video and said, I am literally being ripped off by everyone in this country. And I think that that is the whole point of Tyler and Nick's content.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of the school funding issues discussed?
The district earlier this year, though, said that more than 50,000 students were enrolled in Lakewood private schools, including more than 10,000 who lived in outlying municipalities. So in terms of these numbers, that means that they are spending $82,000 per student when the national average is like $15,000, and these parents, rightfully, are confused.
They don't know where the money is going, especially as they see the Jewish private schools get tons of funding and get, you know, developed and expanded while their children are being fed quote unquote cold, rotten food, per that little girl's testimony in front of the school board. If I was a parent there, I would also be upset.
Now, if that is not evidence of fraud, I think that it is also worthy to note that back in 2017, the FBI, carried out a huge raid in Lakewood where 26 Orthodox Jews were charged of stealing $2 million in government benefits.
I can't believe I have to preface it with this, but I'm not saying that to be racist, I'm just saying that to paint the picture that maybe Tyler is also trying to paint for the world at large.
But this article reads, quote, you have a family of six or seven or eight, somebody is paying the mortgage, somebody is paying the taxes, they have two cars in the driveway, they've got food for all the kids, and they are reporting their total income at $10,000, says the Ocean County prosecutor who took the lead in the case. You have to ask, what is going on here? That's what Tyler's asking.
That's what the New York Times asked back in 2011. In one case unsealed by the court in June, a couple with six children are alleged to have reported their income at $39,000 per year, low enough to qualify for Medicaid, when in fact they were getting more than $1 million annually from a limited liability corporation. Like guys,
We made fun of the Somalis, saying that the Minnesota government could not look into the alleged fraud because that would be racist, and they would come out and say that they were racist. Like, we have to be able to laugh at the ridiculousness of this, too. The ridiculousness of that excuse. Like, that is just fair. But apparently, no, that is not allowed. The internet said, no way, Jose.
Now, once Tyler's video was posted, obviously the world unleashed on him. And in fact, his entire Patreon subscription platform for his whole community, that was totally nuked and shut down. But in response to him posting about this, this is really good. One person retweeted it and said, perhaps it is time for Tyler to get a real job and stop harassing Orthodox Jews on the street.
I don't know, but this man, this commenter right here, he might be taking this whole thing a little bit personally because apparently he is the superintendent of the school district in New York from Tyler's first video back in that original upstate New York town. And oh my goodness, it looks like they maybe have a massive problem as well.

Chapter 6: How did public reactions differ between Tyler's videos?
get ripped off. People are angry, they want justice, they want it shut down. Somebody commented and said, after watching Tyler's videos on Jewish communities using welfare to have 10 plus kids, getting state and federal dollars to fund their private police, schools, and emergency services, all I can say is this is why all social supports for everyone must end.
That is where so many Americans are at right now. It is not about going after specific races. It is about exposing corruption in the way that our system is abused at every single level. This should be something that all Americans can get on board with because it is our money. It is the hours that we put into our jobs.
It is the money that we should be able to dedicate right back to our own families. And so when we see videos like this, whether it's in New Jersey or New York or Minnesota or Ohio, it pisses people off and they want change. That's not racist. That is normal.
