MINNEAPOLIS ICE SHOOTING: How Frey & Walz Lured a Minneapolis Woman to Her Death
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! Camellia Peterson from AFP-Missouri joins the show to discuss the rebellion in the Show-Me State: A plan to abolish the State Income Tax completely. 🚨 JOIN THE RESISTANCE: ☕ Fuel the Rebellion (Coffee & Merch): https://4libertyshop.com 💬 Uncensored Chat & Community: https://4libertynetwork.com 🔥 IN THIS EPISODE: THE PHYSICS OF STUPID: Why a Honda Pilot is a kinetic weapon (and why Physics doesn't care about your politics).

TIM WALZ QUITS: The $9 Billion ”Retirement” Scam
Tim Walz is walking away. The Governor of Minnesota announced he will not seek a third term, just hours after House Oversight revealed the "Feeding Our Future" fraud scandal could top $9 BILLION. Is this a retirement, or a getaway car? Austin breaks down the massive looting operation in Minnesota, the IRS crackdown on your Venmo account while the politicians lose billions, and the "Gentle Parenting" hangover that is ruining a generation of kids. IN THIS EPISODE: 🚨 The $9 Billion Exit: Why Tim Walz is fleeing the scene of the crime. 📉 IRS vs. You: The new 1099-DA rules are here to crush the gig economy. 🔥 The Gentle Trap: Why "Nice" parenting is creating anxious tyrants (w/ Camellia Peterson). 🌎 The Don-roe Doctrine: Daniel McCarthy on why Trump’s "Gangster Realism" beats the "Liberal Crusades."

Owning a home is White Supremacy.?
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. Francisco Moran (Argentine attorney & founder of La Carlos Menem) fires back, arguing that removing a narco-tyrant is a victory for civilization and the West. IN THIS EPISODE: 🔥 The "White Supremacy" of Homeownership: Why they want to abolish your deed. 🏚️ The Squatter Gaslight: The media says it’s a myth. Texas just made it a felony. ⚔️ Samurai Justice: When the police fail, the "Squatter Hunter" steps in. ⚖️ The Venezuela Debate: Constitutional Crisis (Napolitano) vs. Moral Victory (Moran).

Trump Captures Maduro — And the World Freaks Out
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
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? We discuss why the culture is craving tradition in a digital age. Also in this episode: The "Dad Energy" Miracle: Why fathers are the unsung heroes of the holidays (featuring the viral "Elf Dad" and the Snowplow Hero). Steffi’s First "Real" Christmas: After a lifetime of Hanukkah, Steffi experiences the chaos of a full Western Christmas. The $51,000 Holiday: Inflation is hitting the North Pole hard. Freedom Resolutions: Why your New Year’s goals should be about Liberty, not just weight loss. Grab your eggnog (and your rifle), and let’s celebrate the spirit of liberty! 🔔 SUBSCRIBE for more common sense, culture, and liberty! #HomeAlone #Libertarian #Christmas2025 #FreedomFamilyFriday #AustinPetersen #DadEnergy #AIart #CultureWar #Nostalgia

WHY MODERN CHRISTMAS MOVIES SUCK: The Death of Sincerity & The Hollywood Implosion
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. Today's Show: 🎬 The Death of Sincerity: Why Hollywood can't make a Christmas classic anymore & the "Red One" disaster. ⛪ The Silent Night Revival: Shocking new data shows Gen Z men are flooding back to church. 🗣️ Camellia Peterson: Analyzing the "Gender Flip" in religion and why the "secular narrative" is collapsing. 🦨 Holiday Hall of Shame: Porch pirates, chemical warfare, and the Secret Santa lawsuit from hell. #ChristmasMovies #Hollywood #GenZ #Faith #CamelliaPeterson #CultureWar #SkunkWater

CIVIL WAR: Tucker, Shapiro, and the Battle for the MAGA Soul
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. Ford Surrenders: The F-150 Lightning is dead. Jon Miltimore on the dealer revolt, the aluminum fire, and the end of the EV mandate. Civil War in Phoenix: Tom Pappert takes us inside the room for the Shapiro vs. Carlson showdown. Who does the base side with?

GREEN CHRISTMAS? Trump Reschedules Marijuana - Freedom Family Friday!
Trump Said Ho Ho Hold My Beer and Descheduled Marijuana. It’s a very green Christmas on Wake Up America 🎄🌿 Today we break down Trump’s surprise move to deschedule marijuana and what it actually means legally, culturally, and politically. We explain what changed, what didn’t, and why this decision landed right in the middle of the holiday season. Then we pivot to the real world realities families are dealing with right now: ✈️ Holiday airline chaos and why so many Americans are stranded trying to get home 🎁 The rise of “micro-Christmases” as families downsize gatherings on purpose 💭 The quiet loneliness that hits hardest during the holidays, especially for men Plus, we tease and reveal a mystery guest in Hour 2 who joins us for a thoughtful, wide-ranging conversation on culture, work, and where the country is heading as we close out the year.

FBI SHAKEUP: Why Dan Bongino is Quitting and Andrew Bailey is the System’s New Nightmare
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. And the UN is coming for Georgia—investigative journalist Gabriella Hoffman joins us to expose the UNESCO land grab in the Okefenokee Swamp. In this episode: 🚫 THE END OF ALARMISM: Why the breakup of NCAR is the biggest win for science in decades. 🕵️♂️ BONGINO VS.

THE LOST GENERATION: The Corporate Plot to ”Delete” White Men Exposed
They told you it was a conspiracy theory. They called you "fragile" for noticing it. But today, the receipts are in. Austin breaks down the bombshell new report from Compact Magazine that proves an entire generation of American men was systematically, illegally, and quietly purged from the workforce to satisfy the "DEI" gods. The data is undeniable, and the "Lost Generation" is finally getting its vindication. On today's show: The Silent Purge: We review the shocking numbers. From Hollywood to the Hospital, verified data shows how meritocracy was destroyed to keep you unemployed. Tenure Won't Save You: The Trump Administration puts "Biased Professors" on notice. The days of taxpayer-funded indoctrination are over. Your Car is a Spy: Judge Napolitano joins Austin to expose the terrifying new "Kill Switch" mandate kicking in for 2026. Can the Feds shut off your engine?

Cowardice & Control: Female Cops Run Away, The UN Takes Our Land
The West is crumbling from within. Yesterday, we saw "Diversity Hires" in the Australian police force turn their backs and run while citizens were slaughtered. Today, we learn that the Biden-Harris administration is trying to hand over the Okefenokee Swamp to the United Nations. Austin Petersen breaks down the "Great Betrayal": From the record credit card debt fueling this Christmas to the globalist land grabs in our own backyard. On the show: Camellia Peterson (7:30am CT) brings the "Missouri Firewall." She details three massive bills: Banning China from buying farmland, the "Defend the Guard" Act to stop undeclared wars, and the plan to finally END personal property tax. Kerry Slone (8:00am CT) exposes the deadly consequences of DEI in policing. She analyzes the Bondi Beach footage where female officers retreated, leaving civilians defenseless. Gabriella Hoffman (8:30am CT) joins us to stop the Okefenokee UNESCO designation. Locals are fighting back against "Agenda 2030" regulations that would restrict hunting and property rights. Chapters: Intro The Hero Scout vs. The Debt Trap Camellia Peterson: Banning China & Ending Property Tax Kerry Slone: Cops Running Away? Gabriella Hoffman: The UN Land Grab

Bondi Beach Massacre: The Liberal Suicide Pact (Importing Terror)
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. The victims were defenseless because the government stripped them of their right to carry. Austin breaks down the "Liberal Suicide Pact": Why the Left insists on importing people who hate Western Civilization, and then disarming the citizens who would fight back. Also on the show: Kurt Schlichter (@KurtSchlichter) joins us to hammer the point home. If this happened in Texas, the body count wouldn't be 16. It would be zero. He explains why a well-armed citizenry is the only answer to terror. Jon Miltimore (@miltimore79) exposes the "Bipartisan Stupidity" in Washington. Josh Hawley and Bernie Sanders have united to cap credit card interest rates (which will destroy the poor), and the IRS just admitted the "No Tax on Tips" law is a compliance nightmare. Steve Gruber (@stevegruber) breaks down Rand Paul’s revolutionary new healthcare plan. Imagine buying health insurance from Costco or Amazon with the same bulk discount you get on toilet paper.

Spy-By-Mile: The Government Plan to Tax Your Movement
The Open Road is under attack. A new coalition of governors is pushing to replace the gas tax with a mandatory GPS-based "Mileage Tax." They call it a "User Fee." We call it a surveillance state nightmare. Austin breaks down the pilot programs that want to track exactly where you drive—and tax you for it. Plus, the price tag is dead. A bombshell report reveals Instacart is charging neighbors different prices for the same groceries. The media says it's "gouging," but is "Surge Pricing" actually a brilliant tool for business owners to manage demand? We play Devil's Advocate. Also on the show: Judge Andrew Napolitano (@Judgenap) joins us to discuss the "Deep State" leaks regarding the Venezuela boat strike and the landmark Supreme Court case Trump v. Slaughter. Can the President finally fire the bureaucracy? Joel Berry (@JoelWBerry) from The Babylon Bee stops by to discuss the "Postliberal Right."

THEY AREN’T HUMAN: How Foreign Bots Created the Nick Fuentes Myth
THEY AREN'T HUMAN: Proof Nick Fuentes is Leading a Foreign Bot Army The receipts are in, and the "Groyper Revolution" is a lie. A bombshell new report reveals that 61% of the online engagement driving the fringe Right isn't coming from American voters—it's coming from paid bot farms in Pakistan, Indonesia, and Russia. Austin Petersen breaks down the foreign psychological operation designed to rot the MAGA movement from the inside out. Plus, the Deep State is finally on trial. In Trump v. Slaughter, the Supreme Court appears ready to dismantle the "Fourth Branch" of government, with Chief Justice Roberts calling the bureaucracy a "dried husk." Is this the end of the unaccountable federal regulator?

THE SOMALI FRAUD STATE: $1B STOLEN, A CINNABON MELTDOWN, AND THE WHITE HOUSE CRACKDOWN
THE SOMALI FRAUD STATE: $1B STOLEN, A CINNABON MELTDOWN, AND THE WHITE HOUSE CRACKDOWN Minnesota just became ground zero for one of the biggest welfare fraud scandals in American history — more than $1 BILLION stolen through fake autism centers, kickbacks, overseas real estate, and money that may have even reached the Somali terrorist group al-Shabab. Now CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz is warning Gov. Tim Walz that Minnesota could lose federal Medicaid funding unless the state cleans up decades of corruption and identity-politics paralysis. And while billions vanish, a Cinnabon worker is instantly fired after a viral confrontation with a Somali couple — the perfect symbol of America’s double standard: protected activist groups get political immunity while working-class Americans get crushed. Meanwhile, the Trump White House has launched Operation Metro Surge, ripping violent Somali offenders off the streets of Minneapolis and exposing what Democrats refused to acknowledge for years. Today we break it ALL down. PLUS: Jon Miltimore on California’s new rent-control disaster Austin’s take on AI replacing CEOs — and why he already made AI the CEO of 4LibertyNetwork Join the movement.
