Wake Up America with Austin Petersen

If you’re tired of being gaslit by corporate media, sick of shallow hot takes, and ready for fearless truth delivered with wit, fire, and facts, Wake Up America is your daily briefing for the battle of ideas.

Hosted by Austin Petersen — former presidential candidate, media entrepreneur, and unapologetic defender of liberty — this high-energy political talk show cuts through the noise with bold analysis, sharp humor, and evidence-driven commentary.

Every episode delivers:

• Hard-hitting breakdowns of the day’s biggest political headlines
• Libertarian-leaning, America-First perspective grounded in facts
• Deep dives into economics, culture, foreign policy, and constitutional principles

Hasan Piker’s $1,383 Glasses & Code Pink’s 5-Star Cuba Vacation EXPOSED

Monday Mar 23, 2026

Hasan Piker's $1,383 Glasses & Code Pink's 5-Star Cuba Vacation EXPOSED | Wake Up America with Austin Petersen | March 23, 2026

650 left-wing activists just flew to Cuba on a "humanitarian mission" and checked into a five-star hotel — the only building on the island with electricity — while 11 million Cubans sat in 20-hour blackouts outside. Code Pink flew first class. Hasan Piker wore $1,383 Cartier sunglasses to a country where people earn $17 a month. Greta Thunberg — who called fossil fuels a "death sentence" in 2023 — is now demanding oil tankers be sent to Cuba. And a Chinese Communist Party-linked network funded the whole operation.

Austin Petersen delivers the most comprehensive takedown of left-wing hypocrisy in recent memory — plus the secret JFK deal that kept the Cuban regime breathing for 64 years, the NBC poll showing the Democratic Party now polls worse than ICE and AI, and why the libertarian wave sweeping Latin America is the biggest story nobody in mainstream media is covering.

📌 WHAT WE COVER TODAY:

🔴 SEGMENT 1 — LOWER THAN ICE: THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY'S COMPLETE COLLAPSE

A brand new NBC News poll shows the Democratic Party at its lowest favorability rating since 1990 — polling worse than ICE, worse than artificial intelligence, and only narrowly beating Iran. Kamala Harris at -17. Gavin Newsom at -18. The DNC chair admitted on Fox News his party has a "brand problem." Austin explains what the real problem is — and why it is not messaging.

🔴 SEGMENT 2 — FIRST CLASS TO COMMUNISM: THE NUESTRA AMERICA CONVOY EXPOSED

The full story of the 650-person left-wing convoy that descended on Havana, Cuba this weekend. Who organized it (and their ties to the Cuban government). Who funded it (and their ties to Chinese Communist Party-aligned money). Code Pink flying first class. Hasan Piker's $1,383 Cartier glasses versus the $17/month Cuban wage. Greta Thunberg's stunning fossil fuel flip. The five-star hotel as the only lit building in a blacked-out country. The armed security guarding the hotel from the Cuban people. The Morón riots. The JFK secret deal that gave Castro a survival guarantee in 1962. And why this convoy was not a humanitarian mission — it was a geopolitical operation.

🔴 INTERVIEW 1 — JON MILTIMORE / AMERICAN INSTITUTE FOR ECONOMIC RESEARCH

The government is handing $500,000 interest-free loans to people earning $200,000+ a year to buy homes — and it is making housing MORE expensive for everyone else. Jon Miltimore breaks down Ludwig von Mises' "spiral of interventionism" in plain English and explains why the only path to affordable housing is getting government out of the mortgage business entirely.

🔴 INTERVIEW 2 — MIKKEL THORUP / EXPATMONEY.COM

While the left was partying in Havana, Argentina passed libertarian labor reform, Chile swore in its most conservative president since Pinochet, and Bolivia ended 20 years of socialist rule. Mikkel Thorup — who has lived in 9 countries, visited 120, and has real businesses and real clients in Latin America — breaks down what the libertarian wave means for your money, your freedom, and what a post-communist Cuba could look like for investors.
