"Planning My Escape From Cuba" - Nick Shirley Returns | PBD #793

Description

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. ------ Ⓜ️ MINNECT WITH NICK SHIRLEY https://bit.ly/49gyFlE 👕 NICK'S STORE: https://bit.ly/3RreQTq 🦁 THE VAULT 2026: AUG 31ST TO SEPT 1ST: https://bit.ly/4mZdLhD 👞 FLB1'S: https://bit.ly/4mXV9gd 🎙️ FOLLOW THE PODCAST ON SPOTIFY: ⁠⁠https://bit.ly/4g57zR2 Ⓜ️ CONNECT ON MINNECT: ⁠⁠https://bit.ly/4kSVkso Ⓜ️ PBD PODCAST CIRCLES: https://bit.ly/4mAWQAP 🥃 BOARDROOM CIGAR LOUNGE: https://bit.ly/4pzLEXj 👔 BET-DAVID CONSULTING: https://bit.ly/4lzQph2 💬 TEXT US: Text “PODCAST” to 310-340-1132 to get the latest updates in real-time!
