    I don't know who half those people are on that list, so I may have voted for the wrong person.

    Had to look up what 'Grifter' meant. Basically, a con artist whom is only interested in self-enrichment.

    As such, this list is stupid. It strikes me just as a platform for all the playa haters.

    If someone's ultimate motivation has redeeming value to society, and they happen to gain notoriety in the process, that to me isn't grifting. But what do I know? On the internet, it's so cool to be the skeptical kid so here is your 'grifter microphone' to get all snarky and look cool.

    The list is, in and of itself, grifting. /rant

    You'd have to go to his YouTube channel and find the show they did together about 10 days ago.

    Voted. How have I never heard of him before last year? I'm on YT all the time.

    Probably due to how spicy his night show can get. If be surprised if he didn't constantly deal with algorithmic demotion till he blew up too much for that to be effective during the Rittenhouse trial.

    That doesn't happen, BUT youtube's robots that monitor stuff is really bad and his live rep isn't much help. For example, he actually agreed with something Biden said about COVID in a speech shortly after the inauguration and he got a strike and a week suspension.


    He recently got a week for showing a police video about a stabbing in a mall. The actual stabbing was really hard to see, but it violated the TOS. He was actually discussing what you shouldn't be doing to avoid getting stabbed.

    Right....I think he did a little commentary about his 10 day 7 day ban.

    Really good he was on vacation. It would have killed him to not be able to do the Alex Jones hearing.

    Hey so serious question, your son seems very different in political views with your son.. Do you two just disagree or is he somewhat just putting up an act on youtube (grifting)?

    He will say he's a libertarian. I just hate Trump, but I have never not voted Republican for a Federal position ( I wrote in in 2016 and 2020).

    The MN libertarian party actually asked him to run for MN Attorney General. He spoke with the party chair and respectfully declined. The guy asked why and Nick said "just watch my show from last night, or the night before, or the night before that" :)

    I like his content for the most part and I tend to agree with him pretty often....except notably his insane take on ending judicial review via overturning Marbury v. Madison. I get where he's coming from, but just, no.
