00:01:17.000All right, so without further ado, let's go ahead and throw to my interview, exclusive interview with Andy Biggs, the next governor of the great state of Arizona.
00:01:26.000Without further ado, please help welcome to the stage Congressman Andy Biggs.
00:01:40.000I have to start our time together, Congressman, future governor, with an anecdote.
00:01:45.000So, we both were at the State of the Union, and the next day we both happened to get on the same flight back to Arizona.
00:01:53.000And he, you know, people don't know this about your congressman, maybe, but he was flying in coach just like I was, although he had an aisle seat and I was stuck in a middle seat.
00:02:04.000And we kept talking across the aisle the whole time.
00:02:10.000On Fox News, and he's very serious, and he's a policy wonk.
00:02:15.000He understands the ins and outs of government really well.
00:02:18.000And you don't always get to see how warm and gregarious he is, and all these people kept walking by and wanted to shake his hand, and he would just always have time for them.
00:02:28.000And I clocked it because it's very, very telling about the character of a man, how he is when the cameras are not on them.
00:03:06.000Because we know you in Congress, we know you on Fox News, but tell us, you know, how'd you end up here?
00:03:13.000That's a long story, a series of mis Decisions probably took me to Congress, but I was born and raised here, and I grew up in a politically active family, Andrew.
00:03:25.000And they were active at the grassroots level, just like everybody in this conference is today.
00:03:31.000And so they would, my mom would write letters to the editor, right?
00:03:37.000And we lived in Tucson, so Tucson wasn't really conservative, it's still not, and it's even worse today.
00:04:01.000And I would park it on the side, and I knew my mom had been on the radio or TV or the newspaper because people would come and try to throw eggs at our house over the car, but they couldn't make it.
00:04:14.000So my car was egged, spray painted with swear words.
00:06:02.000And then that's how we got sucked into it, right?
00:06:05.000And before too long, he's the president or chairman of the local district, and I'm the secretary, and that's just how it is.
00:06:13.000We just were in a, you know, if you show up.
00:06:16.000People ask you to do something, and if you do it, you're reliable and they will trust you to do more, and that's really kind of what happened.
00:06:24.000It's a great lesson for folks that want to get involved in politics.
00:06:27.000Just show up, get involved at the local level.
00:06:29.000That was Charlie's admonition to young people that wanted to get involved in politics all the time.
00:06:44.000So, how long were you a practicing attorney before you ended up joining the state ledge?
00:06:50.000Yeah, so Andrew knows all my story, almost, but I was practicing law and I chose to retire pretty early, but I started doing some international work on behalf of pro life, pro family NGOs at multilaterals.
00:07:10.000And I was still active and there was a redistricting.
00:07:38.000This is going to sound like a negative towards you, Andy, but it's actually a positive.
00:07:44.000So, I have a theory that a lot of congressmen do not make great governors.
00:07:48.000And the reason is because it's different being a CEO of a state than it is being part of a deliberative body.
00:07:54.000One of the highlights of your career that I think is worth highlighting is the fact that you were actually involved deeply and intimately at the state level.
00:08:03.000So tell us about your history of the state ledge.
00:08:07.000So, if you want a governor, you want a governor that knows how to pull the levers of power, knows how to work within the state system, knows how to get bills passed, understands the utilities, understands the minutiae of local governance.
00:08:18.000You ended up becoming the president of the Senate here in the state of Arizona before going to D.C. Tell us about your time there, what you learned, what you're going to glean from that experience.
00:08:27.000Yeah, I think that is really going to be helpful because of my position as Senate President.
00:08:35.000I also was essentially writing the state budget, so I know the lines, I know what we're going to spend, and I know kind of where this is going.
00:08:45.000But I worked with two different Republican governors, and so we had that interaction.
00:08:52.000But without getting into the details too much, what I can just tell you is there's a reason so many current and former legislators endorse me.
00:09:02.000I'm pretty open and communicate, let people come into my office.
00:09:06.000And Katie Hobbs was, for Pete's sake, the current governor, the minority leader when I was there for a while.
00:09:10.000And she'd come into my office every week and we would talk about this stuff.
00:09:13.000But the bottom line is if you know the process and you know the policy and you are willing to collaborate, you can get so much done as the governor.
00:09:23.000And that's really what we're going to do.
00:10:20.000Well, so the purpleness is really an aberration in my mind.
00:10:24.000Because what this state really was, you know, historically, it was for rugged individuals who would come out and make their way.
00:10:35.000They weren't looking for government to kind of take care of them.
00:10:38.000But I mean, the spirit of the state still remains strong that way.
00:10:41.000I mean, you look at it, we're still a center right state.
00:10:44.000And when you start looking at it, like our water situation, no other state in the country did what Arizona did.
00:10:51.000We took a desert state when you had 45, 50,000 people living in this current metro area, that's 5.5 million people, and they built a series of dams to bring water to it.
00:11:32.000That's why I like Upward, it's a dating app designed around faith and shared values.
00:11:37.000People who care about commitment, integrity, marriage, and family, the things that we really value on this show, you're starting from common ground instead of trying to negotiate your core beliefs months into a relationship.
00:11:49.000If faith is central to your life, or even if it's something that shaped how you were raised and how you see the world, Upward connects you with people who take that seriously.
00:11:58.000So if you're tired of the confusion and ready to date with intention with marriage and family in mind, download Upward and start building on that right foundation because strong relationships.
00:12:15.000Things are not going as well currently.
00:12:19.000You had a bunch of tweets, a series of tweets, where you mentioned that Arizona has fallen into the bottom five as far as wage growth, the bottom five of new job growth.
00:12:34.000What are the top three, four, whatever issues that you see plaguing the state of Arizona?
00:12:41.000Well, first of all, we've lost the American dream here in this state, perhaps across the country in many ways.
00:12:49.000So, the first issue for me is to restore that, and that means that you have to facilitate and create an atmosphere where young people or new families can buy a single family home and be able to afford to buy that home.
00:13:37.000At the same time, we still have across our southern border the most porous human trafficking sector in the country.
00:13:47.000So, you want to make sure that people can afford to buy homes in a safe neighborhood, but you also want them to be safe.
00:13:54.000So, where they can go, feel comfortable taking their family out.
00:13:57.000You're not going to be worried about fentanyl coming into your high schools.
00:14:01.000So, for us, for me, you start working on the American dream with the housing, but you also start working on the American dream to make sure that you're shutting down areas of the border that are still kind of porous because of unique circumstances in Arizona's terrain, some governmental entities that we have here.
00:14:22.000Once you start doing those two things, then you start remembering.
00:14:25.000We want every parent to be able to be influential in the educational experience of their child.
00:14:33.000No more boys in girls' sports or girls' locker rooms.
00:14:38.000No more grooming behind parents' backs.
00:14:42.000We're going to work on that, but we're going to make sure that Arizona's educational choice, which is the best in the country, is available for every student.
00:14:53.000So we're not just teaching them to read and write and do math at grade level.
00:15:11.000And I remember actually coming up with the three M's with Charlie.
00:15:14.000I saw it in a Brookings Institute study where they realized oh, shoot, if young people get married and they get a mortgage and they start having kids, they're going to turn into Republicans.
00:15:39.000In Arizona, only 18% of the fifth largest state in the country is in private hands.
00:15:44.000The rest of it is controlled by government entities, state or federal.
00:15:48.000And that means that, for instance, in the Phoenix metro area, you have whole swaths of land which would be normally suitable to build single-family homes on.
00:16:01.000What you're getting instead is a dormant asset because it's sitting there being owned by the federal or state government.
00:16:08.000So, you have to open that up, and 25% of development in Arizona is usually the land cost.
00:16:16.000But the other thing is, you reduce cost about 30% of it is permitting.
00:16:23.000So, you have to make sure you take care of the regulatory environment that's in place.
00:16:28.000And when you take care of those two things right there, all of a sudden, the cost of, say, a first time home becomes rational and affordable.
00:16:55.000So you have to give a better tax structure, you have to reduce the regulatory environment.
00:17:00.000So it's not just housing that's taking four years to get from plat to dirt, it's taking that long on all kinds of businesses, and you have to facilitate that.
00:17:13.000And where we do facilitate it, we see jobs come in.
00:17:16.000So we recently did one for a group called Hadrian out of LA County.
00:17:22.000And they came in, and they're hiring 350 Arizonans to work in that high tech manufacturing plant.
00:17:30.000And by the way, it isn't about giving subsidies and it isn't about giving tax credits, it's about reducing that load, government interference load, on the entire market.
00:17:42.000And then you have a better marketplace for everybody.
00:17:45.000So there's a very boring election happening, genuinely, but all of a sudden it's garnered national attention in recent weeks.
00:17:56.000And that is something called SRP, right?
00:19:53.000And here's why because SRP is a power and water company.
00:19:57.000So when I talked about the The lakes that were built and the basically the rivers that were tamed.
00:20:06.000That was SRP doing that over a hundred years ago, over a hundred years ago.
00:20:10.000And we still, they still move a lot of water, they still move a lot of power.
00:20:17.000What we're seeing is at the ACC, these groups that are coming in, they want to rely on the Green New Deal stuff.
00:20:26.000And they want to increase the amount of solar and wind, which is less reliable, more expensive, ugly.
00:20:34.000And I mean, the wind turbines, actually, in northeast Arizona, there are private groups that are trying to come in and put up to 8,000 wind turbines up in the.
00:20:49.000Those are pollutants when they run their course because they don't live forever.
00:20:52.000When they run their course, they actually pollute the land underneath them.
00:20:56.000So, if you want to get power stability and make sure that you move to a cheaper form of power, you have to acknowledge that clean coal, Arizona's got some clean coal.
00:21:25.000So you have the coal, then you have natural gas refining.
00:21:30.000That's clean, it's cheap, it's something that we can get and move very quickly and it's efficient.
00:21:36.000And the third thing is the movement to nuclear.
00:21:39.000A lot of people don't realize this, but until Georgia recently opened their nuclear plant, the Palo Verde nuclear plant west of town here was the largest nuclear facility in the United States.
00:21:52.000And now we're moving to SMRs, which This is the wonkiness you didn't want me to get to.
00:22:02.000But to move to the nuclear small modular reactors, President Trump is trying to get nine of those placed in different facilities, military installations, so that they're up and running by the end of 2027.
00:22:16.000I don't know if that's doable, but what happens, we're trying to get one at Luke, some of us in the delegation.
00:22:23.000If we can get something there and you start making that scalable, all of a sudden, It changes the entire dynamics for where we're going because where are we going?
00:22:33.000You're seeing a tremendous increase in the demand for power and water.
00:22:39.000And by the way, we went from about 1970s having roughly maybe a million and a half to two million people, maybe a little bit more than that, from the early 70s to today where we are seven and a half million people in this state.
00:23:13.000And we like people, and we like growth, and we like the economic opportunities that freedom allows.
00:23:20.000They want to crush freedom with their authoritarian, basically, policies that they believe will drive people out of Arizona and who knows where.
00:23:34.000This year marks a critical moment for our country.
00:23:36.000As the opposition grows more aggressive and unapologetic, the fight now reaches into the everyday decisions that we make.
00:23:43.000Patriot Mobile has been standing on the front lines fighting for freedom for more than 12 years.
00:23:48.000They don't just deliver top tier wireless service, they're activists like me, like you, who truly care about our country.
00:23:54.000Patriot Mobile offers prioritized premium access on all three major U.S. networks, giving you the same or better coverage than the main carriers.
00:24:02.000That means fast speeds and dependable nationwide coverage backed by 100% US based customer support.
00:24:09.000They also offer unlimited data plans, mobile hotspots, international roaming, all the things.
00:24:14.000With simple, seamless activation, you can switch in minutes.
00:24:17.000Keep your number, keep your phone, or upgrade.
00:24:20.000When you switch to Patriot Mobile, you'll be part of a powerful stream of giving that directly funds the Christian conservative movement in the United States.
00:26:47.000But beyond that, I remind them that if I'm speaking to an independent, I just remind them, I ask them what it is that they're looking for in the state that they live in.
00:27:22.000And then I always remind my Republican doubters I say, hey, guess what?
00:27:28.000Donald Trump wasn't supposed to win this in 2024, but he won this state because we got out the vote with the help of TP Action, Citizens Alliance, and others.
00:28:22.000They want safety for their kids, they want education for their kids, they want to make sure that they can get a stable job, making a decent wage.
00:28:31.000They want to be able to get safe housing.
00:28:35.000And in the end, people live where the lifestyle is the best for them.
00:29:27.000Yeah, the question is am I concerned about voter fraud in Arizona?
00:29:31.000Yes and no, and I'll tell you why it's yes and no.
00:29:35.000First of all, I am concerned about it, but I know that, like in Maricopa County, which has had problems, Both the county board and the county recorder, newly elected, they have a little bit of chafing at each other, but they're trying to put it in place.
00:29:54.000Number two is I remember what happened in 2024 with President Trump winning, and we expanded the majority of Republicans in both the House and Senate.
00:30:06.000And in some respects, I'm relying on making it too big to rig again, getting out that base, getting out that vote.
00:30:14.000And when we do that, because it is a turnout election, I think we win not only closely, we win going away because we're going to turn out our voters.
00:30:46.000And so I'm going to just offer some things that I think work.
00:30:49.000They worked in Louisiana, they work in Mississippi, which has always been bottom five in attainment, now in achievement, they're in the top five.
00:30:56.000And what they did is they got rid of Common Core.
00:30:58.000When Arizona said we were going to get rid of Common Core, we just renamed it.
00:31:22.000And when you do those things, the kids typically respond, they're reading by grade level, and then you make sure you have a good history in there, reminding kids of what it's like to live in a free country and how we got to be the greatest nation in the history of the world.
00:31:41.000Then we will be up there in that top five, like Louisiana and Mississippi.
00:31:47.000Because they went from, we were always grateful because it was, you know, I can't remember who it was, always number one.
00:31:54.000The other 47 states were tied at 49th.
00:31:58.000And then Mississippi and Louisiana down at 50.
00:32:01.000We were grateful for those two, but now they've shown us the way to do it, and that is the way to do it.
00:32:06.000Would you keep, I think the Mississippi miracle, by the way, it's been widely reported, they'll keep a lot of the students back if they're not making grade level and reading.
00:32:18.000Yeah, social promotion can't, you don't want to stigmatize the child, but believe me, you are stigmatizing the child more by granting social promotion.
00:32:27.000And putting them in a position where, I mean, I just was reading about a graduate of an Ivy League college who graduated and could not read.
00:32:36.000So it is important for us to not socially promote, but instead make sure we have educational attainment so that child will have much more self esteem when they can read and write and do math at grade level, which is where their peers are.
00:33:16.000You mentioned what Arizonians want, and I want to know how you plan on doing those things the affordable housing, the education, the water, the electrical.
00:34:23.000On power, I've already talked about that briefly how the move is going to be towards ultimately moving towards SMRs, because that will give us a broader range of power.
00:34:37.000I can't remember what else you asked, other policy areas.
00:34:41.000Did he get everything that you were asking about?
00:34:48.000Yeah, you have to deal with permitting, the scarcity of land, which is artificial in this state, and deal with that.
00:34:59.000Without getting too wonky on that, I mean, there are ways to actually deal with that that actually benefit K 12 education and the economy and can help make housing more affordable.
00:35:14.000Congressman Andy Biggs, the great Andy Biggs, the next governor of the state of Arizona.
00:35:29.000All right, this might seem weird coming from somebody who's a little bit younger, but if you are about to turn 65 or if you're already on Medicare, this message is for you.
00:35:39.000You see, Charlie cared a lot about America's seniors, and he was outraged that so many were paying too much for their Medicare coverage and getting less than they deserved in return.
00:37:49.000Just to start off, I was looking at some of your more recent tweets, and obviously you're known for your documentary stuff, your investigative work, but you had a normal post just the other day, and I want to read it because I think it really speaks to the influence that I know Charlie has had on you and a lot of other people.
00:38:09.000And what you said was, the more time I spend on X and around politics, I realize how easy it is for people to complain.
00:38:17.000Very few people actually do the thing.
00:38:20.000I would much rather actively be trying to do something than just complaining without bringing a solution.
00:38:27.000And I know that is very much something that Charlie would say all the time.
00:38:31.000He was all about being the change that you seek in the world.
00:38:35.000So I know you're also iconic for being one of the.
00:38:40.000Final guests on our show before the tragedy that happened in Utah.
00:38:43.000So, can you just tell us a bit about the impact Charlie had on your life and outlook?
00:38:47.000Yeah, I had a lot of respect for Charlie because of what he's done.
00:38:51.000And every time I'd go to like Amfest or even coming here today to see what he has built and the people that he's been able to attract around him speaks to the person he was.
00:39:01.000And the reason I made that post is because I'm going out doing so much and people like Charlie did so much.
00:39:07.000And it's so easy for us to go out and do so much and to actually go to the place.
00:39:12.000Talk about it, put our money where our mouth is, and then there's so many people who just want to complain and attack the people that are actually doing the doing.
00:39:19.000And so, yeah, I kind of get sometimes I get kind of fed up when I get on the internet and I see people always just like complaining and complaining without ever bringing any solution.
00:39:28.000And so, right before I tweeted that, I had seen that Gavin Newsom was blaming Trump for his disaster of a state of California.
00:39:35.000And I said, How are you supposed to blame Trump for this when you're the one who's pushed all the billionaires out of your state?
00:39:40.000You let $24 billion go unaccounted for.
00:39:43.000And you're complaining about taxes, but he has the highest tax on gas in the United States.
00:39:51.000And so, I'm saying, well, you're the governor, like, take ownership.
00:39:54.000And I think Charlie's a perfect example of somebody who takes ownership and he sees a problem, he would actually go and do something about it.
00:40:01.000I mean, he dedicated his whole entire life to helping make America great and making America a better place to live.
00:40:08.000And so, me and myself, I want to do the same thing, whether it's going and doing these videos and showing people and highlighting what's actually happening.
00:40:15.000And bringing a solution to some of these problems.
00:40:17.000People say, Well, Nick, you're complaining by making that tweet.
00:40:31.000And I think it's very common to run into people who say, I'd love to help out once I have the right job or once I've finished the right program, once I've moved to the right town.
00:40:43.000But I think you've shown exactly what is possible, which is you can basically.
00:40:47.000Take a smartphone and go to the right spot and ask the right questions and get 150 million views on X.
00:40:54.000So, I think that is the next natural question.
00:40:56.000I know there's a lot of people, a lot like you, who are in their late teens, early 20s.
00:41:01.000They love to ask that general question how can I do what you do?
00:41:07.000Let's imagine there's someone out here in Phoenix or in a town like Los Angeles, and they've seen, it seems there's a lot of fraud out there, it seems like there's a lot of waste, it seems like there's a lot of corruption.
00:41:32.000So if you're angry about your governor, you're angry about the leering center in your neighborhood, maybe go to the place and do your research and say, okay, let's go see if I can talk to the person and have those conversations to actually see what's happening.
00:41:50.000I will admit, when I was driving up here, I did pass by a place that was prominently labeled as a Phoenix Autism Center.
00:42:04.000People, if they start going around your towns and you notice there's these learning centers or these autism centers, you're going to realize there's no cars in the parking lot.
00:42:12.000And every time you drive by them, there's actually no cars there.
00:42:15.000So this is like a whole fraud system that's in every state in the United States.
00:42:19.000But going back to your question about what someone could actually do if they want to do something, Well, I think you have to go do the doing, obviously, but you have to go to the source and you have to be not afraid to speak on things for what they are.
00:42:34.000I think nowadays a lot of things that actually aren't controversial are becoming controversial, like the topic of fraud.
00:42:41.000I think it should not be controversial that fraud is bad no matter who's committing it.
00:42:45.000The fact that men are in girl sports, they were born with a whole different thing.
00:43:13.000And is your step one when you're going to a new destination, like when you're landing in Minnesota and you want to go to the daycare centers or whatever follow up business you're looking at, is it as simple as look them up on Google Maps and start just going to each one?
00:43:28.000It's a little bit more complicated than that.
00:43:30.000So I hadn't known about that fraud in Minnesota since last June, for instance, and I have been gathering information on it.
00:43:36.000And then the man in the video, David, How did that unfold?
00:43:39.000You just went there and people were telling you about it?
00:43:41.000Yeah, I went and did a video last June about the rise of Islam and the Somali population inside Minnesota because people were telling me about it.
00:43:48.000And then all the Minnesotans were like, finally, someone's here to make a video about the fraud.
00:44:15.000And then the man, David, who had been gathering information for years because they didn't want to release the money numbers to the public, and a lot of these places won't.
00:44:24.000Like, for instance, if you try to get the auditing for California, let's just say, I think the only one I could find was from 2023.
00:44:32.000They don't even want to give you from 2024 because then people could go and do these investigations.
00:44:36.000And actually, right now, they're like taking down parts of their websites.
00:44:39.000To help you filter and search throughout stuff.
00:44:41.000In Minnesota, they did that same exact thing when I did the video on the fraud.
00:44:45.000They literally crashed down the website at the heat of it to try and hide the fraud.
00:44:51.000Have you faced any other backlash from the left?
00:44:55.000Have they threatened you with lawsuits?
00:44:57.000Have they tried to basically tell you you're not allowed to do this?
00:45:08.000I mean, the Layering Center literally packed up their bags and left.
00:45:12.000I have to say, I really admire, as a guy who was a journalist myself, anyone who has an explicit scalp, so to speak, someone they took down.
00:45:20.000And I think you have, to your credit, you took down, I think, the politician I think I might personally detest more than anyone else.
00:45:28.000As a guy who's from the Midwest, I really don't like Tim Walz.
00:45:31.000He's the exact type of person that I just really don't like as a Democrat.
00:45:38.000How does it feel to have that to your credit, I think?
00:45:46.000Do people from Minnesota contact you and say, like, thank you?
00:45:50.000You've liberated us until the next Democrat takes office?
00:45:53.000Yes, people were very, very happy that Tim Waltz decided to step down.
00:45:57.000And that also just goes and proves that what I was doing was true and correct because why would he step down if there actually wasn't anything to be hiding from?
00:46:06.000And so that was one of my favorite things when he started calling me like a far right conspiracy theorist, and then he called me a delusional far right conspiracy theorist, and then he said I was like, What did he say?
00:46:24.000He said a lot of things, but I think he said, like, racist, like, yeah, he called us, like, all racist or whatnot for going after the fraud.
00:46:32.000And that's the reason why people were not able to speak out or too afraid to speak out because your governor would then call you racist or a delusional conspiracy theorist for speaking out against the thing that made him drop out of reelection.
00:46:46.000Sort of a how it started, how it's going sort of thing for him.
00:47:20.000It's a dating app designed around faith and shared values.
00:47:23.000People who care about Commitment, integrity, marriage, and family, the things that we really value on this show, you're starting from common ground instead of trying to negotiate your core beliefs months into a relationship.
00:47:36.000If faith is central to your life, or even if it's something that shaped how you were raised and how you see the world, Upward connects you with people who take that seriously.
00:47:44.000So if you're tired of the confusion and ready to date with intention, with marriage and family in mind, download Upward and start building on that right foundation because strong relationships start with shared values.
00:48:15.000So after the Minnesota video, I got a lot of death threats because I literally took down a billion dollar enterprise that was taking place.
00:48:21.000And so people get killed over millions of dollars.
00:48:24.000Billions of dollars is a little bit more risky to even expose.
00:48:27.000So after I did that, I did a video on the California fraud, the voting fraud, and just how easy it is for people to vote.
00:48:35.000So I said, okay, maybe I'll get a little less death threats.
00:48:38.000But this week I'm coming back out exposing millions and maybe billions of dollars in California.
00:49:30.000Like New York City alone, which is crazy.
00:49:33.000And I think, like you're seeing in these Democrat cities that charge the most in taxes, but then their quality of living is actually the worst and they have the most amount.
00:49:43.000Like a lot of, most states are in debt, but these states are always like talking about, oh, we need this much more, we need to tax this much more.
00:49:50.000And I think if they were actually taxed less, it would incentivize businesses to actually run profitable businesses versus relying on the government, which would actually help eliminate a lot of their waste and their debt because they're always trying to tax more.
00:50:04.000And then yet they just raise their budgets by the billions.
00:50:07.000And if they were to have more of a competitive way of doing business, they wouldn't have to be so reliant upon the government.
00:50:17.000And I'm not like some genius or anything, but I think that just makes sense.
00:50:21.000Like, if you're going to open a business, before you do it, figure out how to make it profitable.
00:51:19.000And then I got there and I was like, oh, all these people are so cool.
00:51:24.000They're just here because they want the best for America.
00:51:27.000Were you more towards the center or even on the left then?
00:51:29.000No, I liked, I was a Trump, I've always liked Trump.
00:51:33.000I remember watching The Apprentice with my grandpa.
00:51:39.000So I always liked, but I thought Amfest, like, oh, this is some place where the rednecks are coming and we're all going to join in, have a big old MAGA party.
00:51:48.000And I was like, okay, this will be some funny interviews, I guess.
00:51:51.000And then I get there, I'm like, yeah, these people are all cool.
00:51:54.000And then I start hearing about the border.
00:51:55.000And my mom had been talking about the border for a long time because I was on a mission trip for our church.
00:52:00.000So, for two years, I was pretty much not like I wasn't really paying attention much to the news.
00:52:05.000And then I learned Spanish on that mission trip.
00:52:08.000And then I talked to everyone at Amfest and, like, oh, the border's really bad.
00:52:12.000And so I went down to the border all by myself.
00:53:16.000Like, you guys have been walking for a while?
00:53:18.000Meanwhile, they had just been like trafficked over by the cartel and they were going to go hop in the van to then get put into a detention facility.
00:53:25.000I don't even think you call it a detention facility here.
00:53:43.000And so that kind of just started the snowball of me, like, tracking down the migrant crisis and seeing, like, government corruption.
00:53:49.000And I was one of the first people to ever expose, like, and have a migrant say, yeah, I've been living in this hotel in New York City for seven months for completely free.
00:54:23.000The Somali fraudsters, the pirates, yeah, they definitely had it coming for them.
00:54:28.000It's funny, I actually was hoping I was going to see Ilhan Omar there, and so I got invited to the State of the Union, and they put Ilhan Omar's guest right behind me.
00:55:22.000I think if she got deported, that would be like the biggest W out of this whole entire thing.
00:55:30.000I really do think a lot of people want to see that happen.
00:55:32.000As well, because at the State of the Union, for instance, this was the most telling thing of the whole entire thing for me.
00:55:39.000Because I'm sitting on the top of the chamber, all the congressmen and congresswomen are down there, and there's only really one topic where everybody stood up about, and that was about condemning political violence when they mentioned Charlie Kirk.
00:55:49.000And there's only her, and I think one other person didn't stand up.
00:55:54.000So even the rest of the Democrats stood up, but she wouldn't.
00:55:57.000And so that's very telling about the true person she is if she's not even able to condemn political violence.
00:56:48.000So, the most important thing is for people to watch the videos, share them.
00:56:52.000And I mean, security is not cheap, so if anyone wants to help with that, you're more than likely to donate.
00:56:57.000But the most important thing is if you see something in your own city, DM me or email me so I can go and then investigate it because there's so much going on inside this country.
00:57:07.000Like a lot of you, Talked to today, we're from California.
00:57:09.000If you guys were from Minnesota, I'm sorry.
00:57:33.000Have you ever contemplated having, I don't know what the term would be, maybe a farm system?
00:57:37.000Like, have you ever had a tip and you can't get to that town, but you know someone who's closer to it?
00:57:42.000Yes, so right now I'm actually developing a website called Anti Fraud Club.com.
00:57:47.000And that's where you see this shirt right here.
00:57:49.000The back of it says Anti Fraud Taxpayer Club.
00:57:52.000And so I'm actually trying to make it available so people can go inside of their own cities.
00:58:00.000Because what I did in California is the HHS actually opened up their databases to the public.
00:58:04.000And so I'm actually trying to figure out a way to come up with a decentralized version of Doge and then help other people go out and find the fraud inside their places.
00:58:13.000And then they can then platform it on my site.
00:58:15.000And it's all going to be completely free for people to use.
00:58:18.000And then I'm going to teach people essentially how to go in and do it.
00:59:57.000And you probably heard the Buckhead, which is the wealthy section, has been trying to separate because they don't get support, but they want Buckhead's money for the city.
01:00:06.000But there are just layers and layers and layers of corruption and fraud with it, especially the voter fraud.
01:00:24.000Okay, but he has been going in and he has found that they have that people that voted were registered at cemeteries, the addresses at vacant lots.
01:00:37.000So this is going on in Atlanta and we would love for you to come there.
01:00:41.000Yeah, I think that'd be a great video for me to go do.
01:00:57.000I think that'd be really good because in California, for instance, and I did a video just to show how easy it would be to vote in general without voter ID.
01:01:05.000There was a lady, this also goes back to me talking about how non controversial issues have become controversial.
01:01:10.000There was a lady who registered her dog to vote.
01:01:29.000We're pro dog people, but the fact was, whether it was a Democrat or Republican, just to show that a dog's registered to vote, you had a person literally, not even a person, you had thousands of people defending the dog.
01:01:42.000And they didn't see the issue, because it's not a right or left issue, but because they made it a left or right issue, it became one, but they couldn't say that.
01:01:52.000It's not good that a dog was registered to vote.
01:01:55.000Would you rather have dogs voting or dead people or illegals?
01:02:32.000And so, having people around me that are also in the Same morals and my faith played a big role into it because I think it saved me from a lot of things when I was growing up.
01:02:45.000With like just everything that a young man goes through these days, my morals were super strong because of my faith and because of the people I looked up to, whether it was my grandpa, Jesus, just having those strong figures in my life I really looked up to, it saved me from really ever getting down into anything that I shouldn't have been into.
01:03:03.000And so nowadays, like just like how I go about doing my stuff, I don't ever, I don't, my goal is never for someone to be like, oh, Nick's part of this religion or that religion, just like, oh no, he follows Jesus Christ.
01:03:16.000I think that's the most important thing for me.
01:04:53.000And you're seeing it now, which is interesting that now you're even seeing the administration put a focus on it.
01:04:59.000They literally have opened up a whole new thing, I don't know if it's a department or agency or whatever, but they opened up a whole new thing just to crack down on the fraud.
01:05:07.000I think there's a new attorney general.
01:05:10.000JD Vance is heading this new department, I think, about the fraud, which is a direct reaction to what we exposed in Minnesota, because they weren't really talking about it before.
01:05:34.000And I want to give you credit for this that your video, of course, gets 150 million views, but.
01:05:40.000As an example, CBS News just did a big story on, I believe it was hospice fraud in California.
01:05:47.000And that's another thing where we've been seeing allegations about that for a long time.
01:05:51.000And it's almost the novel idea we've had dozens of different publications in this country, and they can write yet another story about how Trump is Hitler or something.
01:06:01.000Or you could cover something that half of America would find immediately compelling, and no one is talking about it, and it is right in front of your face.
01:06:10.000And I guess that's probably your message to other young people.
01:06:12.000So much stuff is right in front of you.
01:06:14.000If you just pick up a camera, pick up a microphone.
01:06:17.000Yeah, and not every person needs to go and become a YouTuber, but they can go and do their own little investigation.
01:06:24.000If they see something, then take it to the person who you can go and take that to.
01:06:27.000There's a lot of people that work inside of the state governments, and a lot of people who actually do get into politics because they want to make change.
01:06:34.000So there's a lot of people in the government who actually do want to create change.
01:06:37.000It's not just a bunch of crazies that are trying to destroy the United States.
01:06:41.000There's a lot of them, but there's also a lot of really good people who are trying to make a difference.
01:06:45.000Do you have any sense, maybe, where in government you're most likely to find someone who'd be helpful, who might give you a helpful tip?
01:07:13.000And sometimes, like David, had a request for years to get those numbers because they didn't want to release it.
01:07:18.000And then he eventually had somebody from inside the Capitol release it to him.
01:07:22.000So, it is like you do have to go around a lot to make it happen because they don't want the fraud to be.
01:07:27.000And that's one of the reasons why there is so much fraud because they have made it so complicated.
01:07:31.000It's like almost too complicated sometimes.
01:07:34.000And I believe even in Minnesota, they've been hiding information about daycares now, which that's one way to respond to finding what you found.
01:07:41.000Yeah, the way to hide fraud is to make it super complex where people can't really track it down.
01:08:15.000I just want to echo what the two ladies from Georgia said in terms of topics to cover, probably with even more focus in the coming months about election integrity.
01:08:24.000I think this is such a vital component.
01:08:27.000And have you ever considered uniting with, I don't know, James O'Keefe or any of the other people who do what you do so well?
01:08:34.000To really pressure Congress to do something about this before the next elections because we're not sure how it's going to turn out, but this has got to be done.
01:08:48.000And I think, honestly, when you tackle these topics, I'm trying to determine if it's better to do it all at once or come at it at different angles.
01:08:59.000And so I've done videos with James in the past, for instance, and he's a great person.
01:09:03.000And I do think it would be beneficial to do something together as well.
01:09:08.000To kind of really just drop a bomb of dynamite on them.
01:09:20.000My father in law recently had a rental property in Spring Valley, which is predominantly a Caldean community.
01:09:28.000And he said within a few days, he got like, I don't know, 20 requests, and they were mainly Section 8 housing.
01:09:37.000And he said he would bring the people in and they would check it out.
01:09:40.000And there were just so many, like, there were stories of like 120,000-dollar Mercedes pulling up.
01:09:48.000And I guess how it works with Section 8 housing is I think they only have to pay about 10% of the rent per month.
01:09:55.000So your rent's like $3,000, the applicant or whoever only has to pay like $300 a month.
01:10:01.000And they could own a 7 Eleven or they could be making a few hundred thousand dollars a year and they're not spending any money on rent and they're not spending any money on taxes.
01:10:15.000Have you thought about maybe approaching that or that would be a little more difficult because?
01:10:20.000You know, going to a business as far as you know, yeah, so that just goes to show like how bad the fraud is, like it's everywhere, whether it's the daycares, the hospice centers, or the homes.
01:10:31.000Like, Section 8, like what he's talking about, Section 8, and so I mean, there's a lot of fraud to tackle.
01:10:36.000I'm only one man, but we're working on expanding it.
01:10:40.000A line I saw someone remark the other day is we actually just had the number of American adults who are not in the labor force has, I believe, passed the previous record high, which was during COVID, and as he pointed out.
01:10:51.000We're not seeing people starve to death, so people are getting by somehow.
01:10:56.000And a lot of it is through there's one government program after another.
01:11:00.000And as you saw, so many of these businesses that are fraud adjacent, you'll have your daycare center and your Medicaid center and your medical transport company, and they'll all conveniently be in the same building.
01:11:13.000And think about how much more of a benefit these people would be to society if they spent the same amount of time on thinking about how to defraud us.
01:11:22.000Versus actually getting a job and providing some sort of benefit to society.
01:11:43.000Yeah, so in Minnesota, they found, for instance, the main daycare that was receiving $3.67 million.
01:11:51.000The lady tried to flee to the UK on a one way ticket, and they caught her and arrested her at the airport.
01:11:56.000And then they just arrested another person with autism, or not with autism.
01:12:06.000His IQ, never mind, I'm not going to go there.
01:12:10.000So he got arrested for autism center fraud.
01:12:14.000And so now that the evidence is there, I think this is what I hope the federal government is waiting, or not waiting, but they're gathering all the information so that when it does come time to do those prosecutions, they can then just go and tackle them all.
01:12:30.000Yeah, my personal take is if you're in a red state, what you can advocate for now is I know we aren't fans of big government, but you can say, let's hire more prosecutors in our state AG's office and go after these things.
01:12:44.000The federal prosecutor said, I am prosecuting as much of this as I can.
01:12:48.000There is just too much of it for us to get all of it.
01:12:51.000And I suspect that's the case in many places.
