Nick Shirley: Exposing Government Fraud, Suing California & Taking on the Media
N
13:51Nick ShirleyGUEST
Yeah, it can be Medi-Cal, it can even be NGOs, nonprofits, that receive grants from the government.
N
13:55Nick ShirleyGUEST
For instance, the pr- the people who sponsored this bill is called CHIRLA.
N
13:58Nick ShirleyGUEST
They received $80 million, and they do the advocacy work for illegal immigrants here inside the United States.
D
14:04David SacksHOST
Wait, they got $80 million...
N
16:38Nick ShirleyGUEST
Yeah.
D
16:39David FriedbergHOST
And who is the impetus of this bill? Like, is there a way that people are teasing out the, the funding cycle and the people that were behind this thing, or no?
N
16:48Nick ShirleyGUEST
Well, CHIRLA, they're the co-sponsor, but who received $80 million.
N

think CHIRLA brings visibility.
S
17:35speaker_16SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
This cause is really close to me because I know undocumented folks myself.
S
17:39speaker_16SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I think as undocumented folks get older, they're looking forward to retiring, and I don't know if there's an official way to do that here in the United States unless they have some kind of legalization.

I've been looking into the fraud for quite some time.
L
27:47Lori MillsGUEST
As a matter of fact, Cam Higby and I were the first ones to go to CHIRLA, which they wrote the Nick Shirley Act over.
L
27:58Lori MillsGUEST
And it's amazing to me, not only watching our money go overseas, but literally watching our tax dollars go into NGOs like CHIRLA and Indivisible.
L
28:12Lori MillsGUEST
And basically what happens, they're getting taxpayer grants in the sum of CHIRLA alone got $80 million dollars.
L
28:20Lori MillsGUEST
They funded the Stop Recall Gavin Newsom campaign, and they're basically just laundering it back into Democrat campaigns.
L
28:30Lori MillsGUEST
Never mind money literally leaving our country and funding fraudsters.
L
29:04Lori MillsGUEST
If they're caught cheating, they change the law to make cheating okay.

When Benny talks about NGOs, I could give you an example of one I've been following closely in California.
J

Right, and it's also been uncovered that there are groups like CHIRLA who should be focused on helping, uh, immigrants, right, who are stumping for Becerra.

Still Talking Radio: Trump, Tesla, Time Travel & California Politics
A
6:17Amy ReichertCORRESPONDENT
Well, that's what Nick Shirley was talking about in his speech.
A
6:21Amy ReichertCORRESPONDENT
So one of the co-authors of the bill to silence him and citizen journalists was crafted by CHIRLA.
A
6:30Amy ReichertCORRESPONDENT
CHIRLA is an organization that provides immigration support services to illegal immigrants to the tune of $80 million in taxpayer money.
A
6:42Amy ReichertCORRESPONDENT
So if you listen to Gavin Newsom, he'll say, oh, well, this bill just outlaws doxing.
A
6:47Amy ReichertCORRESPONDENT
Well, doxing is already against the law.
I'm Suing California...
N
3:37Nick ShirleyHOST
These politicians funnel millions upon millions of dollars to these nonprofits.
N
3:42Nick ShirleyHOST
And in fact, the co-sponsor of this bill is CHIRLA, which is an immigration support service provider who has received over $80 million of your tax dollars for their organization who provide legal services for illegal migrants here inside of the United States.
N
3:58Nick ShirleyHOST
All right, so what actually is this new law, AB 2624, known as the Stop Nick Sherlock? Well, it was created because these people inside these immigration support service providers have allegedly faced doxing, courthouse targeting, online harassment, anti-immigrant vigilante threats, and coordinate campaigns and death threats.
N
4:15Nick ShirleyHOST
And it says right here inside this bill that it says it happened in 2025 and it will continue because of the current administration's anti-immigration attitude and policies.
Ep.60 STOP the Stop Nick Shirley Act with Amy Reichert
A
13:30Amy ReichertGUEST
Here, Gavin Newsom signed a bill, which was, it's not the actual name of the bill, but it should be the name of the bill, Stop Nick Shirley Act, AB 2624.
A
13:43Amy ReichertGUEST
And there's one section of the bill that was written so broadly that if you or me decide to go online and expose some of these NGOs that are raking in up to $80 million like Chirla is, in California.
A
14:00Amy ReichertGUEST
They're providing immigrant support services to people that are here illegally I'm pretty sure that because of how broadly written this law is, if I stand in front of one of these NGOs and I just read the 990, which is the financial statement for the nonprofit, and I name the principals, and if I show their face, I could be slapped with a $4,000 fine, be ordered to take my video down, and then also be sued if they think that that constitutes a threat, that I'm trying to threaten them.
