"Fraud Happening For YEARS!" - Nick Shirley BREAKS DOWN How Deep Minnesota's Fraud Network Runs
10 Jan 2026
Chapter 1: What sparked the viral conversation about Minnesota's fraud investigation?
The first day this came out, you know, people on Twitter were talking about it. The second day, silence. The third day, Kash Patel responds to it. And I'm sure you saw the tweet on here. Hey, the FBI has awarded recent social media reports in Minnesota. However, even before the public conversation escalated online, the FBI had searched. So he sends this tweet, right?
It's dismantled $250 million in fraud, et cetera, et cetera. And then finally, it got to a point that it was so viral that everybody had to cover it. And they barely started covering it yesterday. I don't even think they did on the 29th. I think they started on the 30th. CNN, ABC, CBS, a lot of this other stuff. Has Kash Patel or anybody from the White House reached out to you yet?
No, Kash Patel hasn't.
Chapter 2: How has the media responded to the Minnesota fraud allegations?
Other people have reached out as far as like, hey, do you want to come with us to see what's happening or do you want to see what's happening? A lot of people have sent me messages on X. I mean, Mike Johnson was talking about it. J.D. Vance talked about it. Attorney General Pam Bondi talked about it. Everyone's talking about it.
I mean, literally the GOP was using a video referencing my video on their Instagram yesterday. The GOP was? The GOP official Instagram account.
I mean, look, the vice president responded. This dude has done more useful journalism than any of the winners of the 2024 Pulitzer Center Prize. The VP has given you... But the FBI hasn't reached out to you at all.
No. I mean, I think I can't... There's been so many people that have messaged me, but... There's people who are wondering how I got my information from the government, and I've been willing to say, like, yeah, I got it from David.
Chapter 3: What reactions have politicians and federal agencies had regarding the fraud claims?
If you want to talk to David, here's David's contact info. But I don't know how the government doesn't have all this information. It's kind of, like, surprising to me.
So you're surprised that the government doesn't have this information?
Yeah, they're reaching out to me to figure out what's going on. A few of them are.
Really?
Yeah.
Pretty high officials?
Not the high officials, but the departments.
departments are reaching out to you to see how you got it. So are they reaching out to you asking how you got it because they want to catch the person that's blowing the whistle, or are they reaching out to you because they want to actually find out the work that you're doing, like some access to the information that they don't have themselves?
Well, I think they're trying to figure out how to go about it.

Chapter 4: Why are government departments reaching out to the guest for information?
There was the one clip that he moved the flag, and there's a whole thing about how Minnesota changed its flag to look pretty much identical to Somalia's flag. If you've not seen this, take a look at this. First, this is the clip of that. You can play this clip, and then we can go match in the flag. Old flag to the new flag. So this is the old Minnesota flag. Right, Rob?
That's the Minnesota flag, the old one. And he replaces it with the new flag. I believe that's the new Minnesota flag. I don't think that's Somalia's flag. I think that's their new flag. But if you go to the picture next to you on X, you see how it says go next? No, right there, right there. Yeah, look at that.
Chapter 5: What does the guest reveal about the scale of the fraud network?
They changed their picture. That's the old Minnesota flag. On the top left, the bottom left is the new Minnesota flag. And then go look at Somalia's flag on the right. You tell me if you see any similarities. So they changed their flag. Minnesota, nicest people in the world is what they're supposed to be. to the Somalia flag. And then Tim Walz is sitting out there talking about that.
They've been dealing with this for many years. Yet he was bragging, if you have that one clip when he was debating with J.D. Vance, that they are opening up the most daycare centers and record-breaking daycare centers, and they're doing such a good job. This was in the debate, folks. Watch this. Soda passed a paid family medical leave.
Chapter 6: How does the guest feel about the government's lack of information on the fraud?
You have a child, you and I had to go back to work five days after my kids were born. This allows you to stay home a certain amount of time. What we know is that gets the child off to a better start. The family works better. We stay in their employers. We get more consistency in that. So Kamala Harris has made it a priority. We implemented it in Minnesota, and we see growth.
That's how you become a pro-business state. And so a paid family medical leave program, and I will tell you, go to the families or go to the businesses and ask them. As far as child care on this, you have to take it at both the supply and the demand side. You can't expect the most important people in our lives to take either our children or our parents to get paid the least amount of money.
And we have to make it easier for folks to be able to get into that business and then to make sure that folks are able to pay for that. We were able to do it in Minnesota, and I'm still telling you this. We were listed as the best state.
Chapter 7: What are the implications of the fraud investigation for Minnesota's future?
We're still in crisis on this. A federal program of paid family medical leave and help with this will enhance our workforce, enhance our families, and make it easier to have the children that you want. So in this debate, he challenged you. If you want to find out, go there. You took up the challenge. Yes. You went there.
Took up the challenge. And maybe he shouldn't have said that. Yeah, he shouldn't have said a lot of things. He shouldn't have said a lot of things.
He's not the brightest guy. So the FBI hasn't reached out to you. You guys are continuing to go out there and do your thing.
I'm Nick Shirley, and you guys can find me here on Manect. Go ahead and ask me any questions, whether it be about politics, about what I believe, or where I think the future of the country will be going, or just quite frankly, anything. You can ask me here on Manect. I really appreciate all your support, and I can't wait to answer your questions.
