FULL EPISODE IN THE COMMENTS! Why is this still getting a platform? Jillian Michaels and Steven Crowder call out Hasan Piker for a pattern of divisive, inflammatory takes—and ask why someone like this continues to be amplified. More broadly, they break down how unchecked rhetoric blurs the line between opinion and fact—and drives the spread of misinformation.

🇺🇸NICK SHIRLEY: MINNESOTA FRAUD IS HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT Nick says what’s unfolding in Minnesota may be larger than anything seen before. He argues the scale is measured in billions, spread quietly across neighborhoods and businesses. What started as speculation, he says, became obvious once people living there started asking basic questions. Closed buildings, massive payouts, and no clear answers. The interview, he says, is about putting those questions on the record: “Here in Minnesota, potentially the largest fraud to ever happen in America is happening right now, as billions of dollars have been laundered and funneled and given to Somali-run businesses here inside of Minnesota, all across the state. I’m here in Minneapolis right now, and I’m meeting with a man who’s been doing his own research for years as he’s been speculating this fraud. He’s seen it blatantly inside his neighborhoods, in the areas that he calls home. This is an interview with a man who has done everything possible to expose the fraud. What’s the need for $2.25 million for daycare? How can they say this building was closed? There’s a lot of fraud happening here in Minnesota.” Source: Nick shirley

🚨 Devin Nunes tells me he thinks the Somali fraud story is “a lot worse” than we know. And he broke down why this story is so “spectacular.” A citizen journalist just forced former VP candidate and Governor Tim Walz to drop out of his 2026 re-election campaign. “It’s hard to make that happen.” “To have a former vice presidential candidate running for re-election as Governor of Minnesota to drop out is pretty spectacular.” “But there’s so many of these stories that are out there.” Nick shirley Devin Nunes

🚨🇺🇸🇸🇴 MINNESOTA FRAUD EXPOSED: 100 MILLION+ VIEWS BUT THE MEDIA IS STILL PLAYING DEAD Nick Shirley dropped a 42-minute nuclear bomb on Minnesota’s massive welfare fraud scandal, and clearly the internet noticed. The full video has already racked up 30M+ views in 24 hours on X alone. Add in the clips? Well over 100 million views and counting. This is one of the biggest viral investigative stories of the year, possibly ever on X. The exposé details jaw-dropping corruption, alleged fraud networks, abuse of taxpayer money, and zero accountability from state officials. And yet… - New York Times? Not a word. - Washington Post? Nowhere. - CNN? Total blackout. Let that sink in: the entire legacy media apparatus is ignoring a story the public clearly cares about more than anything else right now. It seems more like coordinated silence to protect a narrative, because if a 100M-view bombshell doesn’t deserve coverage… What does? Source: Collin Rugg, Nick shirley

🚨🇺🇸 NICK SHIRLEY INVESTIGATES MINNESOTA BUILDING WITH 22 HEALTHCARE COMPANIES: "ESTIMATED $30 MILLION IN FRAUD" Same building. Same business model. Door after door after door. Nick Shirley visited a Minnesota building housing 22 home healthcare companies, all providing essentially the same services, all collecting government money. What he found: Multicultural Home Care. Reliance Recovery Center. Mercy and Grace Care, Inc. Serenity Quality Care. Convenience Home Health Care. Queenley Home Health Care. Aid, Inc. Child Friendly Space. And more. All in one building. Shirley's question: "Why would you have the same company essentially inside of the same building door to door? If you were trying to operate a business, you'd want less competition." When he asked about fraud, things got tense: "As soon as you confirm about the fraud, they get angry." A source explained the scheme: "False documentation being submitted to the state of Minnesota for services never provided. They're having forms signed in advance for services never rendered, as far as a year or two years in advance. They'll have someone sign these forms at one sitting, then file those with the state. Nobody from the state bothers to check that those services were ever provided." On the closed community: "Everybody's in on it, and they don't want to talk." The estimate for this single building? $30 million in fraud. And that's "a very low estimate." One building. $30 million. How many more buildings are there? Source: Nick shirley Eric Daugherty

🚨 WOW. JAW-DROPPING revelations from Nick Shirley's friend David, he knows everything about the Somali fraud "You have child care, you have adult daycare, you have in-home health care, you have street health care, and nobody really knows how that's defined, and then you have transportation, non-emergency medical transportation." "HUNDREDS of child care facilities that [Somalis] have set up - on every one that I visited, and I've been to maybe a hundred of them or more, I never ever have seen ONE child at any facilities EVER over the past seven years, eight years!" "And if you do a search, you'll see that the state of Minnesota says they have 1,020 non-emergency medical transportation companies, and my research is showing that 95% of those are Somali-owned, and what I know is that the people writing the checks at the state of Minnesota never, ever, ever verify that any trip was ever made or that any appointment was ever made with a dentist!" 🤯 Nick shirley

🚨🇺🇸 CNN PANEL MELTS DOWN OVER NICK SHIRLEY'S VIRAL FRAUD INVESTIGATION: "YOU CAN'T JUST SHOW UP AND START ASKING QUESTIONS" They're not mad about fraud. They're mad they got scooped. A CNN panel unloaded on Nick Shirley's Minnesota daycare investigation, dismissing him as a "random vigilante justice seeker" who "ordained himself some sort of law enforcement expert." One panelist: "Who is he? Like who gave this guy license to go around? These random vigilante justice seekers... it's utterly ridiculous." Another called it "racist and xenophobic" and "dangerous," claiming Trump is "putting a target" on the Somali community. Their defense: "Minnesota officials say each facility had been visited at least once in the last six months. So far they found no evidence of fraud." Really? Then why have 98 people been charged? Why have 60+ been convicted? Why did AG Pam Bondi announce "more prosecutions coming"? Why did HHS freeze payments? The panel's real complaint: "That's not how you investigate fraud." Actually, showing up and asking questions is exactly how journalism works. Or used to work, before legacy media decided some stories weren't worth covering. CNN has bureaus, budgets, and battalions of producers. Nick Shirley has a camera and a rental car. He got the story. They didn't. Now they're lecturing him on "how investigative journalism is done."

Today on The Officer Tatum Show Mamdani’s inauguration was pure theater, and I’m going to show you why. But first, we have to talk about Nick Shirley and the daycare fraud story exploding in Minnesota, because the mainstream media seems more focused on attacking Nick than verifying the fraud he’s exposing. I break down the clips, the spin, the excuses, and the gaslighting, including the suspicious “break-in” story that conveniently wipes out key records. And yes, we’re also talking about why Nick needs real protection while doing the job the press refuses to do. Then we pivot to Mamdani’s collectivism talk and the progressive performance machine, and close with Pastor Jamal Bryant and the hypocrisy problem in modern church culture, from double standards to the disappearance of real accountability.

He’s literally working to support the fraudsters: he could be working to expose the fraud.” “How stupid do you have to be to say ‘let’s go after the guy exposing the fraud, let’s not go after the fraudsters’. That is what he’s doing. Why don’t you say ‘Hey Nick, great video - how can we help?’ “These tax dollars don’t say right or left on them, Republican or Democrat. Each tax dollar is a dollar for the American people. And when they go and steal these dollars from us, they are not robbing liberals or Democrats, they are robbing everyone. Then the Governor gets mad at the person exposing the fraud? How crazy do you have to be to think that logic?” adds Nick shirley

Sequoia founder Don Valentine: “The art of storytelling is incredibly important” “The art of storytelling is incredibly important. And many—maybe even most of the entrepreneurs who come to talk to us can’t tell the story. Learning to tell a story is incredibly important because that’s how the money works. The money flows as a function of the stories.” The founder of Sequoia founder explains that the story is how you explain what you want to do, how long it’s going to take, who the competition is, and how much money you need. a16z cofounder Ben Horowitz shared a similar view in a 2014 Forbes interview: “Storytelling is the most underrated skill… Companies that don’t have a clearly articulated story don’t have a clear and well thought-out strategy. The company story is the company strategy.” He continues: “The story must explain at a fundamental level why you exist. Why does the world need your company? Why do we need to be doing what we’re doing and why is it important?… You can have a great product, but a compelling story puts the company into motion. If you don’t have a great story it’s hard to get people motivated to join you, to work on the product, and to get people to invest in the product.” This is the job of the founder and CEO: “The CEO must be the keeper of the story. The CEO is responsible for getting the story right, that it’s up to date, compelling, and can move the hearts of men and women. That’s the fundamental responsibility of the chief executive… The mistake people make is thinking the story is just about marketing. No, the story is the strategy. If you make your story better you make the strategy better.” Video source: Stanford Graduate School of Business (2010)

As a PR agency, we’ve sat in the middle of this more times than we can count - a story goes live, a company/founder isn’t happy with the framing, and suddenly everyone wants corrections…or a takedown. Tomiwa Aladekomo, CEO of Big Cabal Media, talks about the other side of that moment - what he calls “unhappiness management.” He breaks down what TechCabal will and won’t correct, and why stories rarely come down unless a significant chunk is factually wrong - even when the pressure is loud.
