Who is Nick Shirley and why is he being accused of fraud?

Tim Pool 0:00
There is perhaps no other person more effective right now than Nick Shirley with on the ground reporting in Minnesota, as well as California, exposing these fraud scandals. And he is just kicking things off. We have now seen CBS go send reporters into these locations to try and uncover fraud. We have seen other reporters. We've seen Benny Johnson. Now, we've known about fraud in Minnesota for some time, but Nick Shirley hit the nail on the head with the hammer. He went in there, tracked down some of these locations. Learing Center is now a major meme, and he said, where are the kids? What's going on? What's with these hospice offices, these medical offices, with the lights turned off? No one's in there, but they're billing for nearly a million dollars every year.

What's going on? Well, sure enough, Nick Shirley has been given great access now to prominent individuals like Elon Musk because his work has been tremendous. And as I would say, my friends, great work is rewarded. Not always, but Nick Shirley has been doing great work. Now, the weirdest thing is happening. Of course, we saw recently that Gavin Newsom attacked Nick Shirley because he's investigating fraud in California. That we understand. What I can't quite figure out now is this. Candace Owens going to a near year-old video from Nick Shirley claiming what he did is not possible and trying to discredit him. This is where things get very strange. My friends, as many of you know, I was the OG Vice News guy.
Tim Pool 1:35
When I went to Vice, they did not have a news division. And it took months of negotiating. And finally, they said, let's hire this guy. I said, here's what I want to do. Let's roll, baby. They launched news. And it was, I will give full credit to the statement to the former CEO, Shane Smith, who said, because of Tim Pool, we started Vice News. Indeed. I went to them and said, we should be doing on the ground reporting. This is what I want to do. Live streaming, you know, posting social media. We nailed it. And Vice News at the time was the fastest growing news organization in history, gaining like a million subs in a month. It was wild. And you know one of the things I did, why I bring this up? Because I went to the favelas in Brazil on more than one occasion to interview gang members to figure out what was going on.
Tim Pool 2:23
I was not the first from Vice, certainly was not the last. And others did certainly more dangerous reporting than I. I was on the ground at these riots and I came back a year or two later. Ultimately, I went down there like three times Candace Owens is attacking Nick Shirley, trying to discredit his current work, exposing fraud schemes largely from Democrats by bringing up a year old video from him where he went to these favelas and interviewed gang members. And she says that's not possible, implying that Nick faked the whole thing, that he's lying in his coverage. Why? I'm going to say it again. I'm genuinely asking why Candace Owens is trying to discredit Nick Shirley. Let me tell you something, guys.
Tim Pool 3:10
We need now more than ever boots on the ground guys, not war.

How has Nick Shirley gained access to prominent figures like Elon Musk?

Tim Pool 3:15
I'm talking about journalism. And Nick Shirley does just he does that. That's what he is doing. Now, some have said, well, the fraud story that he uncovered in Minnesota, we already knew about that. Yeah, we did. We heard reports because people wrote down things because they heard things. They typed it up and maybe people like me sat in a room and complained about it. But who actually said, I'm going to get a camera. I'm going to go down there and film all of this so people can see it. Nick Shirley did. Now, who's going to California doing the same thing? Now, with all due respect, Benny Johnson did as well. And Nick Shirley is doing the same thing. And again, shout out to Benny Johnson, who also does much of this kind of work as well.
Tim Pool 3:52
But Nick Shirley has really captured the moment. And he is I think he was at the State of the Union. I'm not sure if he was there. But he is being heralded as this new and upcoming young journalist.

What evidence does Candace Owens present against Nick Shirley?

Tim Pool 4:03
He's a young man.
