Nick Shirley on PBD Podcast

 I wanted to share this PBD Podcast from New Years Eve 2025 feating Nick Shirley. He's gained significant attention for his independent journalism on the whole Somali fraud in Minnesota. This story has largely been shared primarily through the conservative personalities I've followed especially through the PBD Podcast.

I'll share more thoughts after this video, hopefully you'll be able to watch this 16 min. portion of Shirley's recent podcast. Feel free to watch the whole podcast here, it would be worth it. [VIDEO]

Well over 20 years ago, I was impressed with the work of citizen journalists or even activist who shared their work on the internet. I followed Brain-Terminal.com - no longer online and the activism of Protest Warrior - also no longer online - who was showing the real story. Primarily the protests against the war in Iraq and how far left those folks were in those days.  It wasn't just anti-war it was anti- America or even anti-freedom.

Of course nevermind that the war in Iraq was a bit of a mistake in hindsight. I'm still not upset that we got Saddam Hussein out of power as I did believe he was such a bad dude who did such horrible things.

That said, Shirley is only 23 and was an early adopted of YouTube. That sight had evolved over the past two decades. Hell my own channel I had started 20 years ago - please subscribe. :)

Either way he's doing that same kind of work now. Citizen journalism and it's impressive. His channel started with doing pranks, I could compare him somewhat to Mr. Beast who had enough drive and vision to turn his YouTube channel into a consistent money maker.

Who knows where Mr. Shirley will take his journalism and activism my hope is that he doesn't burn out on this. I'm a bit surprised that he's not even based in Minnesota, but in Utah. Here's hoping he doesn't stop there and something is one about this fraud.
