Patrick Bet-David sits down with Nick Shirley – who just returned from Cuba after nearly being taken hostage – for a raw, unfiltered conversation about what life under communism really looks like on the ground.
Nick reveals how Cuban intelligence followed him from the moment he landed, how a two-star general was waiting in the hotel lobby when he tried to flee at 3 a.m., and why the Cuban president himself knew he was there.
Then: the latest on the Quality Learning Center fraud explosion in Minnesota, Ilhan Omar blocking a subpoena and submitting zero evidence in the $250M COVID fraud probe, the “Stop Nick Shirley Act” being pushed by California lawmakers to make investigative journalism illegal, fraud-riddled daycares and hospices across LA, and what Nick found on the streets of Skid Row – including a 12-year-old living among fentanyl dealers and prostitutes.
Plus: Candace Owens coming after him, his falling out with Andrew Callahan, the five-year plan he wrote at age 20 in Chile with $0 in his pocket – and how almost every line of it has already come true.
