HOUR 2: THE FALLOUT Austin is joined by top experts to analyze the ground-level reality and the libertarian response. 🛡️ Jon Miltimore (FEE): The classical libertarian skeptic’s take on the constitutional and economic risks of the strike. 🌍 Fardad Farahzad (Iran International): Reporting on the chaos in Tehran—are the people finally ready to take their country back?

Marriage is under pressure like never before — from money stress to dating culture collapse to shifting gender roles in the workplace. Tonight on Freedom Family Friday, Austin and Stephanie break down the real forces putting modern families through the jungle gauntlet. 💰 Six-figure families now say they feel financially strained as housing, childcare, insurance, and debt crush household budgets 📉 Dating apps are losing users as Gen Z burns out on swipe culture and commitment declines 🏢 Corporate return-to-office mandates and workplace culture shifts are reshaping marriage dynamics and breadwinner roles 📊 U.S. birth rates remain below replacement as more couples delay or opt out of parenthood Is this cultural evolution… or family instability? We’re talking: • Is money the biggest threat to marriage in 2026? • Did dating apps quietly damage long-term commitment? • Are modern gender expectations strengthening or weakening families? • Why are fewer Americans choosing marriage and children? The jungle is real. The pressure is real. The question is — can your marriage survive it?

BANANA REPUBLIC OR REBELLION? Today on Wake Up America, we are dissecting the "Permanent Banana Republic" where the elite trade stocks while the working class fights for the right to build a chip factory. We’re breaking down the absurd "BANANA" (Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anything) NIMBYism killing the Rust Belt, the silence of Nancy Pelosi during Trump’s State of the Union call for a stock ban, and the terrifying new push for "Emotional Labor" regulation. Missouri Lobbyist Camellia Peterson from Americans for Prosperity joins the show to discuss why the Nanny State wants to audit your office "vibes" and tax your smiles.

Gemini said RFK JR. BETRAYS MAHA? The Truth About Trump’s New Glyphosate Order RISE AND FREEDOM, AMERICA! The "Make America Healthy Again" movement is facing its first major identity crisis. Today, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. shocked his base by backing a massive new Executive Order from President Trump that invokes the Defense Production Act to boost the production of Glyphosate—the very chemical RFK Jr. spent decades fighting in court. Is this a masterstroke of national security to end our reliance on Chinese phosphorus, or a total surrender to Big Ag? In this deep-dive A1 segment, Austin Petersen breaks down the science, the politics, and the "Kauffman Challenge." We look at the legal war in Missouri, the difference between "hazard" and "risk," and why the U.S. military suddenly cares about weedkiller.

The media is in a state of total meltdown after John Davidson, a man living with severe Tourette’s Syndrome, ticked a racial slur during the BAFTA awards. But while the "Outrage Industrial Complex" is busy ritualistically condemning a man for his biology, Austin Petersen is digging into the science, the history, and the dangerous superstition of modern linguistic taboos. In this episode, we strip the "magical power" away from the words that the regime uses to control your speech and your mind. In this episode: 🧠 THE BIOLOGY OF A "BRAIN SNEEZE": Austin breaks down the medical reality of Coprolalia and why the Basal Ganglia doesn't care about your feelings. 📜 SECULAR BLASPHEMY: How we traded the religious witch trials of the 1600s for the "sensitivity" tribunals of 2026. 🎤 THE LENNY BRUCE LESSON: Why the only way to disarm a "super-weapon" word is to stop treating it like a nuclear bomb. ⚖️ JUDGE NAPOLITANO ON HIGH-SEAS EXECUTIONS: The Judge joins the show to expose a disturbing new Pentagon policy of "Second Strikes" on cartel survivors and what it means for the Constitution. 🇺🇸 SOTU PREVIEW: A first look at the fallout from President Trump’s State of the Union address.

The War for the American Dynamo has begun. 🇺🇸 Today on Wake Up America, Austin Petersen breaks down the civilizational struggle between the "Accelerators" and the "Decelerators." From the Supreme Court’s massive strike against executive overreach on tariffs to the new Luddites trying to pull the plug on American AI, the battle lines are drawn. Plus, we dive into the Olympic controversy everyone is talking about: Why are some "patriots" hesitant to cheer for Gold Medalist Alysa Liu? Austin exposes the hollow mercenary path of Eileen Gu, invokes the wisdom of Ronald Reagan, and explains why you don't need an athlete to validate your politics to celebrate an American victory over the CCP. In this episode: ⚖️ SCOTUS vs. Tariffs: Why Gorsuch just saved the Separation of Powers and struck a blow for the Constitution. ⚛️ The Data Center War: How NIMBYs and "Decel-Commies" are sabotaging our energy future in Maryland and beyond. ⛸️ The Liu Legacy: The incredible story of a Tiananmen dissident’s daughter taking the crown in Milan. 💸 The Gu Grift: Why Eileen Gu is the ultimate mercenary for a regime that persecutes its own workers. 🕯️ Bastiat’s Revenge: Why the "Candlemaker's Petition" is the ultimate debunk of modern protectionism. 🦅 Reagan’s Wisdom: A classic clip that proves why American freedom is still the envy of the world.

This week on Freedom Family Friday, Austin and Stephanie break down the cultural shift nobody saw coming: people are ditching their smart homes. Electricians report rising demand to remove smart systems. Subscription doorbells. Thermostats that fail. Privacy risks. Digital fatigue. Is “convenience” quietly costing us control? But that’s just the start. 🔥 Why polyamory is being challenged as socially corrosive and biologically flawed 📚 “Wisdom Flexing” — why depth and real books are replacing hot takes ⚡ The rise of hyper-productivity culture fueled by modern stimulants 🐶 An Olympic dog steals the spotlight and what it says about cultural vibes 🧥 The return of unapologetic luxury and the end of performative activism This is the cultural reset episode.

The State is coming for your life, your wallet, and your reputation. Today on Wake Up America, Austin Petersen breaks down the horrifying reality of Canada’s "Medical Assistance in Dying" (MAID) program. We’re going deep on the case of Kiano Vafaeian, a 26-year-old blind man with type 1 diabetes whose "seasonal depression" was treated with a lethal injection rather than a winter coat and a light box. 🇨🇦💉 Is this "compassion," or is it the logical, bloody conclusion of socialized medicine? When the government runs your healthcare, you’re no longer a patient—you’re a line-item liability. We examine reports suggesting the Canadian state is looking at hundreds of millions in "savings" by euthanizing the vulnerable, the disabled, and the poor. ALSO IN THIS EPISODE: THE EPSTEIN GRIFTER FILES: The media narrative is hitting a brick wall. We dissect the Tara Palmeri/Michael Tracey dust-up and why 3.5 million newly released documents just absolved Donald Trump of the wild "A-List Sex Ring" fan-fiction. 📁⚖️ THE POPULIST HORSESHOE: Why are Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna "unmasking" innocent private citizens on the House floor? Austin gives a tongue-lashing to the politicians whipping up moral panics for Twitter clips. 🏛️🤡 TRAD-GRIFT OR SOFT LIFE? Camellia Peterson joins to roast the "Stay-at-Home Girlfriend" trend. Is it a return to tradition, or a Marxist ploy to get taxpayer-funded "housework wages"? 💅☕️ SHOW SECTIONS: A1 Block: The Death Coach & The Canadian Suicide Crisis (0:00) A2 Block: The Epstein Grifter Files & The Massie/Khanna Blunder (20:00) Culture War: Stay-at-Home Girlfriends with Camellia Peterson (40:00) Interview: Jeremy Kauffman on Epstein & Transparency (50:00) SUPPORT THE SHOW & WAKE UP WITH FREEDOM: ☕️ Founding Flavors Coffee: Get the best beans in the game and support liberty at 4LibertyShop.com. 🗣️ Join the Community: Discuss the show and connect with fellow patriots on our Discord at 4LibertyNetwork.com. 📱 Follow Austin: Get real-time takes and show updates from @AP4Liberty on X. #WakeUpAmerica #AustinPetersen #CanadaMAID #EpsteinFiles #ThomasMassie #Libertarian #FoundingFlavors #News

RO KHANNA’S EPSTEIN FACE-PLANT: Innocent Men Smeared to Protect the Real Predators? The Epstein saga just took its most bizarre and dangerous turn yet. This week, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) marched onto the House floor claiming to "unmask" the wealthy elites being shielded by the DOJ. There’s just one problem: it appears they accidentally nuked the reputations of random private citizens who were just part of a photo lineup. Austin Petersen breaks down the spectacular legal malpractice in D.C., the redefinition of "adulthood" by professional survivors, and why the "Epstein Files" are being used as a political prop while the real co-conspirators remain in the shadows. TODAY’S LINEUP: 🛑 THE A1 BLOCK: The "Adult Grooming" Grift. How the Me-Too era is erasing individual agency so former models can collect tax-free millions. Plus, the Ro Khanna photo lineup disaster—how Congress became a tabloid rag. 🚛 A2 INTERVIEW: Journalist Adam Coleman joins the show to discuss his explosive new documentary on the deadly reality of illegal aliens with CDLs operating 40-ton rigs on our highways. 🗳️ B1 MISSOURI UPDATE: Camellia Peterson (Americans for Prosperity) reports on the historic push to finally abolish the Missouri income tax and the battle for school choice in the Show-Me State. 🥊 B2 MAYORAL BID: Tish Hyman was banned from Gold’s Gym for protecting women's locker rooms. Now, she’s running for Mayor of Los Angeles to bring common sense back to the West Coast.

🚨 Oakland's acclaimed Burdell adds mandatory 20% service charge with a lecture on tipping's "ugly racist past" — diners call it peak woke, flood with one-star reviews and threats. We break down the facts, the backlash, and why moral fees on bills are a losing game. Then: RFK Jr. expands SNAP junk-food bans — more states block soda/candy with taxpayer dollars. Politico's hilarious quiz shows the bureaucratic mess, but the goal is spot-on: stop subsidizing obesity epidemics. Personal responsibility wins. Full show: Marco Rubio's Munich defense of Western civilization (changed or adapted?), John Ziegler on why he ditched Thomas Massie over Epstein files drama, history lessons on due process vs. mob justice. 🇺🇸 4LibertyShop.com – Gear up for liberty ☕ Founding Flavors Coffee – Fuel the fight 💰 $17.76 supporters get bonus access 🔥 Unlock $100 mini-doc + $150 Liberty Loot Live game show in Discord/Rumble #WakeUpAmerica #RFKJr #MAHA #WokeRestaurant #SNAPBan #RacismFee

MASSIE VS. BONDI: The Epstein Civil War That’s Tearing D.C. Apart THE ARENA IS ON FIRE. 🏛️🔥 Today on Wake Up America, we are deconstructing the high-stakes collision between the Trump administration and the Liberty movement’s leading voice in Congress. The House Judiciary Committee just became ground zero for a "GOP Civil War" over the Epstein Files, and the fallout is radioactive. IN THIS EPISODE: THE MASSIE MISFIRE: Why is Thomas Massie standing with Ro Khanna and Jamie Raskin to attack Attorney General Pam Bondi? We analyze the "bizarre" pivot where Massie—the co-author of the transparency law—is now calling out the DOJ for "massive failures" in redactions that he himself helped force through. THE BONDI BLOWBACK: AG Pam Bondi isn’t backing down. From calling Massie "deranged" to labeling Jamie Raskin a "washed-up loser lawyer," we break down her aggressive defense of the Trump DOJ’s compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. THE NIXON PARALLEL: We reveal the shocking connection between today's Deep State and the newly unsealed Nixon testimony from James Rosen. Nixon wasn't paranoid—he was being spied on by his own Joint Chiefs, just like the "Madman" in the Oval Office is today! THE "MADMAN" WINS: While D.C. fights over folders, Trump is toppling dictators. We look at the raid on Maduro, the "Discombobulator" weapon, and why the global "Casta" is in total retreat.

IN THIS EPISODE: THE ARCTIC GULAG: 18 New Yorkers are dead in the deep freeze.

WAKE UP, AMERICA! The "Permanent Bureaucracy" didn't start with the current administration—it was born in the shadows of the 1970s. Today, we are blowing the lid off the "Can of Worms" that Richard Nixon warned us about 50 years ago. From the unsealed "Deep State" files to the death of the American paycheck, we are deconstructing the systems of control that want you compliant, broke, and silent. IN THIS EPISODE: THE NIXON REHAB [A2]: James Rosen’s bombshell report in the NYT exposes the seven "Classified" pages that stayed buried for half a century. We reveal how the Joint Chiefs of Staff literally robbed Nixon’s desk and why the Pentagon—not the Left—was the primary force sabotaging the 37th President. THE DEATH OF THE PAYCHECK [A3]: The WSJ reports that "Big Money" is going to Capital, not Labor. We use the Robert Kiyosaki "Rich Dad" lens to explain why your job is a liability in the age of AI and why Nvidia’s 50,000% growth is a warning for the white-collar class. THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE BALLOT [B1]: Camellia Peterson joins us to break down the SAVE America Act. Why is the GOP fast-tracking proof of citizenship for voter registration, and why is the "Show-Me" state leading the charge for election integrity? THE MAFIA DON DOCTRINE [B2]: J.D. Tuccille of Reason Magazine is LIVE to discuss Trump’s "Tariff Trap." We explore how the President used tactical economic nukes to force India into a $500 billion trade deal and why Europe is finally "huffily" rearming themselves.

We break down the staggering 3,500% spike in her net worth and the shadowy business firms in her husband’s name that skyrocketed in value while her district became the epicenter of a national fraud scandal. THE $9 BILLION HEIST: It’s the largest public program fraud in U.S. history. We follow the money from Minnesota’s "Feeding Our Future" scandal to the Hawala pipeline wiring taxpayer dollars directly to Al-Shabaab terrorists in East Africa. THE 2A BETRAYAL: We take a blowtorch to the reckless rhetoric of Kristi Noem and Kash Patel. By labeling lawful gun owners as "domestic terrorists," are they gaslighting the base and providing cover for the mob? We distinguish the facts from the administrative spin. GUEST: Camellia Peterson (@CamelliaPeterson) joins us to discuss the fallout of the Alex Pretti shooting and why the Trump administration is effectively sidelining Noem in favor of Border Czar Tom Homan. THE SIGNAL CONSPIRACY: Leaked messages and "Signal mobs." We look at the evidence that the street confrontations aren't organic protests, but a coordinated criminal protection racket designed to shield the fraud rings from federal raids. THE REFUND SURGE: Finally, some mirth! We break down the $1,000 "Trump Check" hitting bank accounts this week. Why the largest refund season in history has the left in a total panic.

IT’S TIME TO WAKE UP. 🇺🇸 The streets of Minneapolis have officially transitioned into a paramilitary war zone, and the "purity" libertarians are bringing a rulebook to a knife fight. Today, Austin Petersen exposes the truth about the Alex Pretti shooting, the coordinated Signal mobs, and why the Non-Aggression Principle is a suicide pact without a nationalist spine. 📱 THE SIGNAL MOB EXPOSED: Inside the encrypted groups where Democrat officials and Tim Walz campaign advisers like Amanda Koehler allegedly coordinate the stalking and "impeding" of federal agents. 🎯 8,000% SURGE IN TERROR: D-H-S data reveals a staggering 8,000% increase in death threats and a 1,300% spike in assaults against I-C-E and Border Patrol agents—fueled by the rhetoric of Ilhan Omar and Jacob Frey. 🔫 THE SIG SAUER TRAP: Was the death of Alex Pretti a "murder" or a hardware failure? We dive into the controversial history of the Sig P320 AXG Combat and the high-stakes "tussle" that led to a tragic negligent discharge. 🛡️ BEYOND THE N-A-P: Austin reacts to the viral "Kill All Libertarians" article. If you don't defend your home, you don't have a home. Why Libertarian Nationalism is the only way to save Western Civilization. 🗽 THE ELLIS ISLAND STANDARD: Setting the record straight on Austin’s past platforms. Why even "Open Borders" analysts like Shikha Dalmia admit that the state has a legitimate role in security vetting and background checks. 👮 THE POLICE VACUUM: Why President Trump is asking: "Where were the local police?" and why Tim Walz and Jacob Frey must answer for calling off the cops while their city burns.

They think you're a pet. 🐕🚫 On today's Wake Up America, Austin Petersen exposes the terrifying new obsession in Silicon Valley: The belief that AI is about to make human labor—and the American Dream—completely obsolete.

PLUS: 🔥 Nice Libertarians Finish Last: Jeremy Kauffman (Free State Project) joins the show to slaughter the sacred cow of the "Non-Aggression Principle."

It is the ultimate betrayal of the American working class.

The media is lying to you about the "martyr" in Minneapolis. This wasn't police brutality—it was Suicide by Ideology. Death by Woke. On today's Wake Up America, Austin Petersen breaks down the tragic footage of an ICE agent shooting a woman who tried to run him over with a 4,000lb SUV. The truth? She isn't dead because of a bullet. She is dead because politicians like Mayor Jacob Frey and Gov. Tim Walz convinced her that attacking federal agents was a game. They wound her up, pointed her at the Feds, and are now using her corpse to score political points against Trump. Plus: Mitt Romney betrays the middle class (again) with a plan to hike YOUR taxes while protecting his private equity millions. But there is hope!

The mask is off. New York City’s new "Tenant Protection" Czar, Cea Weaver, has explicitly called for the seizure of private property and claimed that homeownership is a "weapon of white supremacy." Austin Petersen breaks down the clips, the strategy, and the war on the middle class. Plus, the media claims the "Squatter Crisis" is fake news... tell that to the guy with the Samurai sword. Then, a massive debate on the Venezuela Raid: Judge Andrew Napolitano argues the capture of Maduro was a "lawless kidnapping" that shreds the Constitution.

MADURO CAPTURED — When America Acts, the World Changes Donald Trump didn’t debate Nicolás Maduro. He acted. In a stunning operation, the U.S. removed a narco-state dictator from power and took him into custody, and the global reaction has been pure chaos. Today, we break down what happened, why it matters, and why this moment exposes the difference between decisive leadership and endless paralysis. 🇺🇸 New Year, New Laws — States quietly rolled out sweeping new rules while no one was watching. We separate the ridiculous from the dangerous, and give credit where a few laws actually respect liberty. 📉 The Weird Economy of 2026 — Markets are optimistic, AI is accelerating, and yet Americans feel uneasy. We connect the dots between regulation, innovation, Wall Street confidence, and the risks nobody wants to talk about. 🔥 Maduro Falls — A full breakdown of the Venezuela operation, the legal justification, the libertarian nationalist case for action, and why Javier Milei’s reaction matters more than the media outrage. ☕ B2 Interview — Mailyn Salabarria of Cafecito Libre joins us to explain what Maduro’s removal means for Latin America, regional stability, migration, and the growing rejection of socialist authoritarianism.

Kevin McCallister vs. Authority: Why Home Alone is a Libertarian Masterpiece Is Home Alone actually a movie about the failure of the state and the triumph of private property rights? 🎄🇺🇸 On this special Holiday Edition of Freedom Family Friday, Austin and Steffi are breaking down why the 35-year-old classic Home Alone is the ultimate Libertarian Christmas movie. In a world where the police are incompetent and the government is absent, one kid uses self-reliance (and a BB gun) to defend his home. Plus, we’re diving into the "War on Christmas"… but this time, it’s about AI. From the soulless Coca-Cola ads to the viral "Retro 1950s" AI videos that are actually... good?

Hollywood has forgotten how to make a Christmas movie because they have forgotten how to be sincere. We have traded classics like Home Alone and Elf for "Content Slop" and ironic snark. In this episode, we break down why the holiday blockbuster is dead, why Red One bombed, and why the "Netflix Look" is ruining cinema. But while we are walking away from the theater, we are walking back to the sanctuary. New data reveals a massive, historic shift: Gen Z men are now attending church at higher rates than women. Camellia Peterson (AFP-MO) joins the show to discuss this "Silent Night Revival" and why young men are rejecting modern chaos to find order, tradition, and meaning in the pews. Plus, the "Holiday Hall of Shame" is open for business. From homeowners fighting porch pirates with "Skunk Water" to the woman suing her coworker over a bag of dog food—we cover the absolute chaos of Christmas 2025.

The conservative movement is officially at war. This weekend at TPUSA's "AmericaFest" in Phoenix—the first since the tragic loss of Charlie Kirk—the tensions finally boiled over. Ben Shapiro took the stage to blast Tucker Carlson for "moral imbecility," while Tucker fired back at the "hall monitors" trying to deplatform him. Tom Pappert (The Tennessee Star) joins me to break down the most explosive weekend in the history of the movement and what it means for the 2026 midterms. Then, we look at the other "war" happening this week: The war on reality. A new report exposes that the Census Bureau is refusing to count $1.4 trillion in welfare payments as income. If they did, the poverty rate would drop from 10% to 1%. We are bankrupting the nation to solve a problem that—statistically—doesn't exist. Plus, the "Lightning" has struck out. Ford officially killed the F-150 Lightning this week, taking a $19.5 billion write-down. Jon Miltimore is here to explain why the free market just delivered the ultimate rebuke to the Green New Deal. And finally... whatever happened to the office Christmas party? We look at why HR departments killed the "bacchanal" and why Gen Z is the only generation trying to bring it back. Today's Show: Monologue: The "Sanitized" Society. From Christmas parties to poverty stats, we are being fed a fake version of reality. The $1.4 Trillion Lie: Breaking down the Phil Gramm & John Early report. Why a single mom earning $11k actually has more disposable income ($64k) than a starting teacher.

The administrative state is in a total tailspin. Today, we break down the explosive departure of Dan Bongino from the FBI. Was it just a "return to media," or was the friction with Attorney General Pam Bondi over the Epstein "Client List" the final straw? We look at the move to replace him with legal brawler Andrew Bailey and what it means for the future of the Bureau. Plus, OMB Director Russ Vought begins the "Great Unbinding" by shattering the federal government's climate alarmism factory, NCAR.

They told you it was a conspiracy theory. They called you "fragile" for noticing it. But today, the receipts are in.

The West is sleeping. Yesterday in Sydney, 16 people were slaughtered at a Hanukkah celebration in the "gun-free utopia" of Australia. The shooters used long guns despite the ban.
