NICK SHIRLEY is a 24-year-old independent journalist and investigative Reporter who gained widespread notoriety for exposing rampant fraud in Minnesota and California.  He describes his mission as, "Here to entertain and bring the truth to all!"

Equipped with a camera and desire to venture where the mainstream media would not, Nick discovered potentially widespread fraud inside taxpayer-funded daycare centers across Minnesota.

In response to his unconventional reporting and investigations, there were Congressional hearings including a House Judiciary Committee hearing where Nick was called as a witness. 

Now he has pivoted to the Golden State to continue his investigative reporting into potential taxpayer funded fraud.  

ADAM CAROLLA is best known as a comedian, actor, radio personality, television host and NY Times best-selling author. He currently hosts The Adam Carollla Show, which holds the Guinness Book of World Records for “most downloaded podcast." Adam started The Adam Carolla Show Podcast from his home office in February 2009. The podcast now receives more than 30 million downloads a month and has been featured in Fast Company Magazine, Entrepreneur, The New York Times and The Los Angeles Times.

After years “digging ditches and swinging hammers” on construction sites throughout Southern California led to a job rebuilding a boxing gym.  This in turn created an opportunity for Adam to coach boxing. Little did he know this would lead to a fateful meeting with Jimmy Kimmel which would officially put him on the path to comedy stardom. After joining Kimmel on KROQ's hit morning show Adam launched his national comedy career on the syndicated radio program Loveline with Dr. Drew Pinsky. MTV developed a television version of the show, which was co-hosted by Adam and Dr. Drew for five seasons (1996-2000). With Jimmy Kimmel (and their partner Daniel Kellison) Adam created and starred in two hit Comedy Central shows, The Man Show (1999-2003) and Crank Yankers (2002‐2005). He later took that construction acumen into the television world with TLC’s The Adam Carolla Project, which saw him and old construction buddies remodeling and flipping his childhood home, Spike TV’s To Catch a Contractor where he busted shady contractors and made them fix their shoddy work, and Adam Carolla and Friends Build Stuff Live where he coached celebrity guests on various DIY challenges.

Adam is a New York Times best-selling author.  He also co-wrote, produced and starred in two independent feature length films.

Along with hosting his daily podcast, Adam headlines Clubs, Theaters and Casinos nationwide as a stand up comic touring his particular brand of common sense comedy that will air as his first Stand Up special on Fox Nation in the Winter of 2025

ALEX MARLOW is the Editor-in-Chief of Breitbart News Network and one of the most influential voices shaping the modern conservative movement. He has appeared on the covers of Time and Newsweek, was named to Forbes’ “30 Under 30,” and has been described as “perhaps the most significant media figure in America.”

Marlow began his career at Breitbart at just 21, hired personally by his mentor Andrew Breitbart, and by his late twenties was leading one of the nation’s most powerful and agenda-setting conservative newsrooms. Born and raised in Hollywood, Marlow lives out Breitbart’s famous maxim that “culture is upstream from politics,” a guiding principle that has defined his reporting, editorial leadership, and role at the forefront of the new media revolution.

In addition to leading Breitbart, he hosts the flagship Breitbart News Daily on SiriusXM’s Patriot Channel and was recently named to helm the storied time slot once held by Rush Limbaugh and Charlie Kirk. His hour-long program, The Alex Marlow Show, airs nationally on the Salem Radio Network and the Salem Podcast Network and weekdays at 9:00 am on AM870 The Answer, delivering sharp news and cultural analysis, as well as breaking news to audiences across the country.

LARRY O'CONNOR is a nationally recognized radio host, journalist, and Editor at Townhall Media, where he shapes one of the largest conservative digital news platforms in the country.

He hosts O’Connor & Company on WMAL 105.9 FM, a top-rated Washington, D.C. morning show closely followed by lawmakers, White House officials, and national media. Now, his program expands nationwide on the Salem Radio Network and Salem News Channel, reaching audiences across the country. He also hosts the daily YouTube show LARRY, streaming live each weekday at noon ET.

Prior to joining Townhall, Larry’s writing appeared across a wide range of influential outlets, including HotAir, The Federalist, Washington Free Beacon, and Washington Times. He was also part of the early wave of digital-first political media via Breitbart News’s original platforms such as Big Hollywood, Big Government, and BreitbartTV.

In addition to his radio and digital work, Larry is a frequent television commentator, appearing regularly on Fox News and Newsmax, and has regularly guest hosted for nationally syndicated programs including those of Mark Levin, Dennis Miller, and Hugh Hewitt.

STEVE HILTON is a Republican Candidate for Governor for the State of California. His campaign website provides the following biography:

"I love California so much. I moved to the Bay Area over a decade ago. I’ve raised my family here, taught at Stanford, started a business, written books, led a nonprofit organization called Golden Together, hosted a TV show … lived the California dream. It’s my home, in the deepest sense. I’m a proud American, and an incredibly proud Californian too.

But I’ve never forgotten where I came from. My parents were immigrants – they fled communism in Hungary to start a new life in England. In a free country. I appreciate exactly what that means.

We didn’t have much money. My mother worked in a shoe store, my stepfather worked construction. My dad, who died when I was a kid, was the goalie for the Hungarian national ice hockey team.

I wanted to get on in life and worked hard. Made it to Oxford University, then a job with the Conservative Party when Mrs.Thatcher was prime minister. It was such an honor to meet her and work for a party that she led.

After that I made a career in business, working all over the world, and eventually starting my own company. We also opened a couple of restaurants in London. That is a tough business!

I went back into politics, helping to elect David Cameron prime minister and then working as his senior advisor in 10 Downing Street.

In 2012 we moved to California. I hosted a TV show — The Next Revolution with Steve Hilton — and podcasts: California Rebel Base, The Steve Hilton Show, Big Ideas Book Club. Through my policy organization, Golden Together, I’ve set out the changes we need to make to get this state back on track.

Over the last few years, I’ve traveled the state, meeting people from all walks of life and backgrounds, in every part of California. I’ve spent time with business owners and workers in every industry, struggling with the absolute nightmare it’s become to start and grow a company here. I’ve seen the struggles so many Californians face raising a family given the unbelievable costs of living here.

Those are the facts. But here’s what you really need to know about me:

I think the most important thing, if you actually want to make change happen, is to have the right ideas as well as the courage, conviction and consistency to follow through. Today in California, we have bad ideas, poorly executed. That has to change.

In everything I’ve worked on and argued for, there has been a clear, consistent idea: to put power in people’s hands.

Read some of my books and you’ll see … More Human in 2015 and Positive Populism in 2018. I’ve always believed that people, families, communities – and businesses – do better when they have the power to chart their own course. That means building a foundation of security and opportunity, and a framework of freedom. That’s what government should be doing, not bossing you around with endless rules, regulations and bureaucracy.

Good judgment often means standing alone against the crowd. I spoke out against lockdowns and school closures right at the start of the COVID pandemic, when everyone else was clamoring to shut everything down. People tried to shout me down and censor me.

I called out America’s increasing dependence on China, when everyone else was rushing to “engage.” I pointed out the destructive impact of globalism on working families, when the establishment dismissed that as a fringe point of view. I argued for healthier food for our children, when the official wisdom was that the food dyes and chemicals weren’t an issue. In 2015 I was called “insane” for arguing that kids shouldn’t have smartphones in schools. Now it’s being implemented across the country.

To make real change happen in government, you need the ability to think differently, the courage to challenge establishment groupthink and the conviction to follow through.

That’s what I will bring to this job – to the urgent necessity of restoring the California Dream for everyone, and making this beautiful state, that we love so much, truly Golden Again."
