From the Daily Caller: YouTuber Nick Shirley released a video March 16 alleging to document more than $170,000,000 in taxpayer fraud in California.
The nearly 40-minute video shows Shirley visiting what he says are daycare centers, hospices and adult daycares. He confronts individuals allegedly working at these businesses and asks them to explain where tax money is going. The video has already garnered nearly 6 million views on X as of publication. Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Press Office later took aim at Shirley’s video on X.
Shirley’s video begins with him confronting alleged Somali daycare workers and demanding to see where the children are located. He claims to be a parent interested in enrolling his son, “Joey,” in a daycare. Three of the apparent daycares are not well-maintained, appear to have little to no children present or have a child claiming no adults were there at the time, according to the video.
“Whether or not it’s fraudulent, there is a lot of suspicious activity taking place,” Shirley alleges.
Shirley released the video on X and wrote, “Here is the full 40 minutes of my crew and I exposing California fraud, Minnesota was big but California is even bigger… We uncovered over $170,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters live in luxury with no consequences. Like it and share it, the fraud must STOP. We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening. These fraudsters have been able to defraud American taxpayers for years without any pushback from the public and politicians. It is time to EXPOSE IT ALL and end America’s fraud crisis.”
The video has already generated over 10.5 million views and nearly 9,000 comments.
WATCH Shirley’s latest investigative report below, which he also posted on YouTube:
California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office mocked Shirley’s investigation into the daycare fraud in California, writing, “WOW. Nick Shirley finds potential FRAUD in DONALD TRUMP’s FEDERAL Medicare system! Gavin Newsom imposed a moratorium on new hospice licenses beginning in 2021.”
(NOTE: The statement doesn’t say anything about shutting off the existing frausters.)

In another post, Newsom’s office mockingly wrote, “Nick Shirley asking the hard hitting questions like: what is a daycare doing in the middle of a neighborhood?”

Defiantly, Newsom’s office posted an AI-generated image of Shirley, continuing to mock his investigation, without actually addressing any of the serious concerns he uncovered.

Shirley fired back on Wednesday, writing, “If a politician gets mad about fraud being exposed. They aren’t working for you, they are working against you. That is all you need to know about them.”
