Newsom's NIGHTMARE RETURNS to California! They Tried to STOP Nick Shirley… So He Went BACK

from #NEZNATION LIVE with Professor Nez · host Professor Nez

🚨 Nick Shirley is BACK in California—and this time the battle over government transparency, taxpayer dollars and AB 2624 is getting even bigger.California lawmakers have advanced **AB 2624**, legislation officially titled *Privacy for Immigration Support Services Providers*. Critics have dubbed it the **“Stop Nick Shirley Act,”** arguing that portions of the legislation could discourage citizen journalists and independent investigators from scrutinizing organizations that receive taxpayer funding.Supporters of AB 2624 strongly disagree, saying the legislation is intended to protect immigration-support workers and providers from harassment, threats, doxxing and violence.But Nick Shirley isn't backing away.After gaining national attention for investigations into alleged fraud, waste and abuse, Shirley has returned to California and is turning his attention toward taxpayer-funded programs, nonprofits, hospice operations, daycare subsidies, the state's troubled high-speed rail project and more.And the timing couldn't be more significant.The California Senate approved AB 2624 on August 18, sending the amended legislation back to the Assembly for concurrence.So what exactly does AB 2624 do? Why are critics raising First Amendment concerns? And why has Nick Shirley become the face of the fight against it?Professor Nez breaks down the controversy, the legislation, Shirley's return to California, and the much bigger question:**Should government-funded organizations face MORE public scrutiny—or less?**Watch until the end and let me know what YOU think.🇺🇸 Subscribe to **Professor Nez** for breaking political news, current events, commentary and analysis.👍 LIKE this video if you believe taxpayers deserve transparency.💬 COMMENT BELOW: Should citizen journalists be encouraged to investigate where taxpayer money goes?🔔 SUBSCRIBE and turn notifications ON so you don't miss the next breaking story.**Topics covered:** Nick Shirley, California AB 2624, Stop Nick Shirley Act, California politics, government fraud investigations, taxpayer fraud, nonprofit accountability, citizen journalism, First Amendment, free speech, government transparency, California legislature, immigration support services and investigative journalism.#NickShirley #California #AB2624 #StopNickShirleyAct #BreakingNews #GovernmentFraud #FirstAmendment #FreeSpeech #CaliforniaPolitics #ProfessorNezFor free and unbiased Medicare help, dial (656) 218-0931 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter, or go to https://askchapter.org/nez✅ Reach out to me: https://bio.site/professornez✅ ORIGINAL MADE IN U.S.A 250TH AMERICA DESIGNS: https://professornez.myspreadshop.com/✅ Check out our Official Clips Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@professornezclips▶ Support the Channel and Buy us a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/professornez
