Nick Shirley
Nick Shirley’s investigative reporting has drawn national attention—and sparked legislative response—including debate around California Assembly Bill 2624, which raises serious questions about press freedom and the treatment of independent journalists.
At just 24 years old, Nick has shown how one determined voice—armed with curiosity, persistence, and a camera—can drive real change. Fresh off viral investigations that exposed alleged billions in government waste and fraud—including his on‑the‑ground reporting on Minnesota’s childcare subsidy program (video) and follow‑up investigations in California (video) — Nick takes audiences behind the scenes of how independent investigations turned hundreds of millions of views into national conversations, congressional scrutiny, and policy action.
More than a series of exposés, this talk is a direct call to engaged citizens: you don’t need permission, a title, or a newsroom to demand transparency and defend liberty. Nick’s firsthand experience shows how ordinary people—especially younger Americans frustrated by seeing hard‑earned tax dollars misused—can step up, ask hard questions, and insist on accountability.
Whether you’re a student, young professional, parent, or ticked-off taxpayer concerned about fiscal responsibility, this presentation will leave you informed, motivated, and ready to engage.
Don’t miss the opportunity to hear directly from one of the most impactful young investigative journalists in the country today. Join us for an evening of insight, live Q&A, and a shared commitment to transparency, individual initiative, and a government that answers to the people.
ABOUT OUR SPEAKER:
Nick Shirley is an independent journalist, YouTuber, and content creator from Utah. A Farmington High School graduate, he served a two-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Santiago, Chile, before channeling his ‘everyman’ storytelling into investigative reporting.
With over 1.7 million YouTube subscribers and hundreds of millions of total views, Nick is known for his fearless, on-the-ground documentaries and street interviews that cut through official narratives. His December 2025 exposé on alleged widespread fraud in Minnesota’s childcare system went mega-viral, prompting federal funding freezes, congressional testimony, and appearances at major events. He has since expanded his investigations into similar issues nationwide, proving that citizen journalism can deliver results mainstream outlets often overlook.
Nick’s mission is simple: use modern tools to expose waste, protect taxpayers, and empower the next generation to actively defend liberty, transparency, and responsible governance. His energy, authenticity, and proven track record make him the perfect speaker to motivate younger audiences to step up and make a difference.
