Cam Higby

Cameron Higby (born c. 2000) is a conservative American political commentator who operates under the outlet Fearless Media. He is known for filming political protests, debating students on college campuses, and serving as a member of the Pentagon press corps under the second Trump administration.

Career In 2020, Higby was a member of the Conservative Hype House, a collective of prominent creators with 1.4 million followers on TikTok. Higby previously worked for PragerU, where he hosted "The Wrap Up," and for the conservative digital outlet Today Is America, before founding his own outlet, Fearless Media.

Much of his content consists of man-on-the-street debates at college campuses and coverage of protests, which he live streams and posts to social media platforms including X and YouTube. He describes his work as combining on-the-ground reporting with political commentary, and is open about his conservative viewpoint.

Following the killing of Charlie Kirk in September 2025, Higby organized the "Fearless Debates Tour," a campus debate series he described as being held in Kirk's honor. The tour involved setting up a table at college campuses and inviting students to debate topics including immigration and DEI policy.

In October 2025, Higby and the tour were threatened and then escorted off the campus of Tennessee State University, an HBCU, after arriving unannounced and displaying signs reading "DEI should be illegal" and "Deport all illegals now! Let's talk." Higby stated he had not known the university was an HBCU when the group selected it. On October 8, Higby participated in an "Antifa Roundtable" with Donald Trump alongside administration officials and other conservative influencers who had been on the ground at various left-wing protests.

The same month, also as part of the tour, Higby set up a debate table at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in conjunction with the university's Turning Point USA chapter

In December 2025, Higby was credentialed as a member of the new Pentagon press corps after nearly all traditional news outlets surrendered their passes in protest of new restrictions imposed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Higby and other conservative influencers signed the Pentagon's 21-page media agreement, which traditional outlets had refused on the grounds that it restricted standard news-gathering practices.

During his first week at the Pentagon, Higby shared photographs claiming to be sitting at The Washington Post's former desk, a claim also made by several other newly credentialed influencers. Washington Post reporter Dan Lamothe, whose desk it had been, shared a compilation of the conflicting claims on social media. FBI director Kash Patel announced a criminal investigation into the Signal chats on a podcast, citing Higby's posts as the basis for opening the inquiry. Legal experts found no evidence of illegal activity in the chats Higby posted. The chats' contents included a guide emphasizing that participants should be "witnesses, not warriors" and should not impede law enforcement.

Personal life On June 23, 2024, Higby was filming outside Adas Torah synagogue in the Pico-Robertson neighborhood of Los Angeles during a pro-Palestinian protest. He was temporarily blinded after being sprayed with bear spray. He was assisted by Rabbi Arye Sufrin, head of school at YULA, who summoned a paramedic.

In October 2025, during the Fearless Debates Tour, Higby pepper-sprayed a woman at Columbus Circle outside Union Station in Washington, D.C. after the woman grabbed and slammed his MAGA hat onto his face. U.S. Park Police arrested and charged the woman with multiple offenses. Higby described the use of pepper spray as self-defense.
