Charlie Kirk Is Dead. The Right Is Making Holocaust Memes. What Are We Doing?
Today on Wake Up America, Austin Petersen confronts the most disturbing story in politics right now: a leaked group chat of Young Republican leaders filled with Hitler memes, gas chamber jokes, and open antisemitism — and the fallout that could tear the movement apart.
We’ll unpack:
🧨 The full breakdown of the leaked messages and who’s involved
🤡 How political correctness created a backlash of nihilistic, “ironic” fascism
💥 Gavin Newsom’s surprising new antisemitism push — why even Democrats are counter-signaling their own side
☕ Why the right must clean house without surrendering to the speech police
Then:
📢 Kira Davis returns to talk culture war ground zero — your local school board
🇺🇸 Patrick Casey joins live to defend Trump’s handling of the Gaza crisis and slam the blackpilled right

🎯 Trump Ends Gaza War — But the Right Turns on Him? | Wake Up America Show
President Trump pulls off the impossible: peace in Gaza and the release of the last living Jewish hostages. So why are so many on the right silent? And where’s the praise from the Free Palestine crowd that’s suddenly gone mute?
We’re digging into the twisted silence of the grifter class — and the media’s complete refusal to give Trump the win he deserves. Plus:
🍍 @realkiradavis joins to discuss Candace Owens’ descent into anti-Israel conspiracies — and how she warned the right YEARS ago
🎤 @RArecamellia reacts to conservatives who abandoned Trump when he delivered peace, and breaks down the TPUSA Halftime Show
🎮 Ubisoft cancels Civil War–era video game for being “too volatile” — we say, bring on the Django DLC
🔥 Is TPUSA still relevant after the death of Charlie Kirk? Or is the brand heading for implosion?

Cancelling Christopher Columbus: Guns, Germs, and Wokeness
The government shutdown just turned into a full-blown purge — and we’re celebrating every pink slip. Then we take aim at the Left’s favorite historical punching bag: Christopher Columbus.

🔥 Today’s Topics:
🧨 The Shutdown Purge Begins: Thousands fired, and we say not enough
💼 Who Survives the Layoffs? The loyal, the useless, or the woke?
🧭 Cancelling Columbus: The explorer who made America possible
🧠 Guest Segment: Culture war meets bureaucracy with @Miltimore79

Tuesday Sep 16, 2025
Tuesday Sep 16, 2025
Vice President JD Vance took over Charlie Kirk’s podcast in a powerful memorial, declaring there will be “NO UNITY” with those celebrating political violence. Today on the Wake Up America Show, we break down what that means for the culture war and for free speech in America.

Monday Sep 15, 2025
Monday Sep 15, 2025
In today’s Wake Up America Show with Austin Petersen, we dive into the fallout after the assassination of Charlie Kirk — and how the Left’s cancel culture has transformed into consequences culture. Teachers, pilots, professors, a Secret Service agent, and even corporate employees have been fired or suspended for celebrating Charlie’s death online. This isn’t censorship — it’s justice, accountability, and America finally fighting back.
🔹 Segment 1 (7:10 AM CT): The Right’s Revenge — consequences culture strikes back against those who cheered Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
🔹 Segment 2 (7:30 AM CT): The motive — alleged assassin Tyler Robinson’s furry fixation, trans partner, Biden memes, and the investigation into radical leftist groups like Armed Queers SLC.
🔹 8:00 AM CT Guest: Jon Miltimore (@miltimore79) on cancel culture, free speech, and accountability.
🔹 8:30 AM CT Guest: Will Chamberlain (@willchamberlain), Senior Counsel at @Article3Project and VP at the @NatConTalk Edmund Burke Foundation, on legal and political ramifications.
✨ Bonus Content:
$75 unlock: 5-minute mini documentary.
$100 unlock: Breakfast Theatre — a satirical “trans furry” monologue exposing the absurdities of radicalized leftist culture.
