When Is Enough, Enough in Minneapolis
Segment #748
You only know what you know… but that only makes you curious and maybe even a big concerned about what you have yet to discover. The Dems, as you will see below, have opened the door to unbelievable provable fraud in Minnesota. That has to make you wonder about welfare services monitored by California, Illinois, and New York. The bill will be in the billions and you have been cheated out of not only your tax dollars but also services that you could not get. There must be accountability.
Nick Shirley is a 23-year-old American YouTuber and self-described independent journalist known for his viral videos alleging large-scale government fraud in Minneapolis, Minnesota, particularly tied to programs involving Somali-run businesses.In late December 2025, he released a highly viewed video (titled something like "I Investigated Minnesota’s Billion Dollar Fraud Scandal") claiming to expose over $100 million (with some estimates up to $110 million or more) in fraudulent use of taxpayer funds through Minnesota's Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP). He visited several daycare centers, many Somali-owned or operated, asserting they received substantial state and federal payments but appeared vacant, non-operational, or not providing services (e.g., empty during business hours, misspelled signage like "Quality Learing Center"). The video amassed millions of views on YouTube and over 135 million on X (formerly Twitter), amplified by figures like Elon Musk, JD Vance, and others in conservative circles.This prompted federal investigations by agencies including the FBI, Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and others into potential fraud in Minnesota childcare and related programs. Some daycare centers he highlighted faced scrutiny, with at least one (Quality Learning Center) closing afterward, though state inspections reportedly found many were licensed and operational, with no broad evidence of the massive fraud he alleged at those specific sites.
In this video I expose the billion dollar fraud scandal that has caused the country to erupt as billions of dollars of fraud has been exposed and caused Tim Walz to drop out of re-election.
Critics, including mainstream media like CNN and Wikipedia summaries, have described his claims as unsubstantiated in parts, with subsequent checks (e.g., by local outlets like the Minneapolis Star Tribune) finding no evidence of widespread non-operation or fraud at the visited locations—though historical Medicaid/childcare fraud issues exist in the state. Some coverage has labeled aspects of his work as anti-immigrant or anti-Muslim in tone.
More recently (as of January 2026), Shirley released a follow-up video alleging additional fraud, estimating around $16 million tied to nonemergency medical transportation companies (often linked to Medicaid reimbursements) in Minneapolis. He and a whistleblower named David Hoch visited addresses of companies like Advanced Mobility, claiming they were shell operations with no real services, idle vehicles, fake addresses (e.g., suites that don't exist in single-story buildings), or stacked businesses at the same location. In one incident, he was confronted and forced out by an angry group at a site, with reports of harassment or intimidation during filming.His work has sparked polarized reactions: praised by conservatives as citizen journalism exposing waste (he's been called "citizen journalist of the year" by some, invited to brief officials, and set to testify before a House subcommittee), but criticized by others for investigative methods, lack of formal journalism background, potential bias, and overstating claims without full substantiation.If you're looking for his specific YouTube channel or videos, search for "Nick Shirley" on YouTube—his main channel has content on these investigations (e.g., the original Minnesota fraud video and the recent transportation follow-up). Note that while investigations continue, no major arrests directly from his specific daycare claims have been widely reported yet, though broader Medicaid fraud probes in Minnesota are ongoing.
