The Wake Up America show with Austin Petersen

MAGA FOR DUMMIES… AND LIBERTARIANS

CANADA does not just get offended. It becomes the perfect test case for what MAGA actually believes about trade, leverage, alliances, and whether America should keep subsidizing old arrangements forever. What starts with tariffs, “51st state” taunts, hockey nationalism, and the “Elbows Up” backlash turns into something much bigger: a fight over whether Trump is wrecking the alliance system or forcing a long-overdue repricing of it. That is not just a Canada story. It is the clearest window yet into the emotional and political logic of America First.

Austin Petersen opens with the MAGA-vs-Canada clash, why “Elbows Up” became a Canadian rallying cry, and why Trump’s defenders see the entire fight as a revolt against allied entitlement, burden-shifting, and one-sided expectations. Then the show turns back home, where Philadelphia mayor Cherelle Parker’s rideshare tax proposal becomes the latest case study in blue-city shell games: tax the middleman, swear the company pays, and somehow the bill still lands on the person just trying to get to work, the doctor, or the airport. Then Camellia Peterson joins the show for a conversation about the increasingly unhinged world of supplement stacks, where wellness culture, influencer economics, and health anxiety collide. And Austin closes with a tour through the left-wing grift museum, where nonprofits, activists, and politically protected operators keep turning moral prestige into criminal allegations and cash.

📍 WHAT WE COVER TODAY:

🍁 MAGA, CANADA, AND THE POLITICS OF LEVERAGE

Why did “Elbows Up” become a national Canadian mood? Why does MAGA see Canada not as an enemy, but as the perfect example of an ally that got too comfortable? Austin breaks down the emotional logic of the clash, the burden-sharing argument behind it, and why Trump’s defenders say this is not isolationism at all. It is a repricing strategy aimed at trade, defense, market access, and the terms of the alliance itself. Canada’s outrage, Mexico’s pragmatism, and the broader fight over who pays for the Western order all feed into one question: what does America First actually want from its friends?

🚕 PHILADELPHIA’S UBER TAX GRAB

Cherelle Parker’s rideshare tax jumps from 20 cents to a full dollar in just eleven days, supposedly to help schools. Austin walks through the shifting numbers, the fantasy that Uber and Lyft might just absorb the cost, and the reason ordinary people hear something much simpler: this is a tax on getting home. Philadelphia already taxes rideshare revenue, and now City Hall wants to shake the app again and pretend the passenger will not feel it. The bigger point is not just that Democrats love taxes. Everybody already knows that. The point is they keep lying about who pays them.

💊 CAMELLIA PETERSON ON EXTREME SUPPLEMENT CULTURE

The wellness world has turned pill stacks into identity, branding, and a side hustle. People are taking absurd numbers of supplements, spending serious money every month, and treating affiliate-coded health advice like a replacement for common sense. Austin and Camellia Peterson get into the culture behind the obsession, the salesmanship wrapped inside “optimization,” and the reason more of this world looks like consumer panic with a clean aesthetic.

🧾 THE LEFT-WING GRIFT MUSEUM

The show closes with a tour through some of the most shameless recent examples of progressive-aligned corruption, nonprofit fraud, and ideological money games. Austin walks through the pattern that keeps showing up: big moral claims, activist branding, little scrutiny, and then eventually the receipts.

2ND SHOOTER? JOE KENT THROWS CHARLIE KIRK MURDER CASE INTO CHAOS

JOE KENT does not just resign. He detonates a political and moral bomb inside the America First movement. The former National Counterterrorism Center director walks away from the Trump administration, denies leaking classified information while reportedly under FBI investigation, publicly casts doubt on the official narrative around Charlie Kirk’s assassination, and says he would testify even if it helps Tyler Robinson’s defense. That is not just a personnel story. That is a crisis of loyalty, judgment, and truth inside the movement that claims Charlie as a martyr.

Austin Petersen breaks down the full Joe Kent controversy, the legal and political implications of Kent’s remarks, and the deeper question nobody wants to answer: when does “just asking questions” start helping the other side? Plus, Judge Andrew Napolitano joins the program to connect Kent’s resignation to the administration’s case for war with Iran, and Georgia state Rep. Noelle Kahaian joins us from the Gold Dome on the push to keep roads clear for first responders and to finally end the clock-changing insanity.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

📍 WHAT WE COVER TODAY:

⚠️ JOE KENT, TYLER ROBINSON, AND THE DEFENSE THEORY

Joe Kent says there are still “unanswered questions” about Charlie Kirk’s murder. He says he would testify if called, even if it helps Tyler Robinson’s defense. Austin walks through the full timeline: Kent’s resignation, the FBI leak investigation hanging over him, the Tucker Carlson interview, the speculation about a foreign nexus, and why this story spirals into a full-blown fight over whether a former Trump national security official is now muddying a murder case that is already headed through the courts.

⚖️ JUDGE NAPOLITANO ON WAR, MORALITY, AND THE KENT RESIGNATION

Judge Andrew Napolitano makes a blistering argument: if there is no imminent threat from Iran, then the legal and moral case for war collapses. Austin and Judge Nap connect the dots between the administration’s public sales pitch, Kent’s reported break with the official line, Congress’s war powers, and what Kent’s resignation may reveal about what insiders really believe.

🚑 GEORGIA MOVES TO STOP PROTEST ROADBLOCKS

What happens when protesters block traffic and an ambulance cannot get through? Georgia lawmakers say enough. Rep. Noelle Kahaian joins the show to talk about SB 443, the bill aimed at increasing penalties for blocking roads, the public safety case behind it, and why Republicans say keeping streets open for workers, parents, and first responders is not anti-protest, it is common sense.

🕒 NO MORE CLOCK-CHANGE MADNESS?

Georgia lawmakers are also pushing a creative way to stop the yearly time change by moving the state to Atlantic Standard Time year-round. Austin breaks down the bill, the federal roadblocks, and why more states are getting tired of waiting on Washington to fix a problem everybody hates and nobody seems willing to solve.

ZOHRAN MAMDANIS WIFE HAS A TERRORIST PROBLEM

New York City did not just elect a socialist mayor. It elected a mayor whose personal and political world is now colliding head-on with questions about extremism, judgment, and ideological rot. Zohran Mamdani sold voters on affordability, cool aesthetics, and a new progressive future. What they got instead is a city facing a multibillion-dollar fiscal hole, a mayor struggling to deliver his promises, and a mounting controversy over his wife’s social media activity and radical associations that City Hall cannot explain away forever.

Austin Petersen breaks down the full Mamdani story — from the budget fantasy to the political liabilities inside his own orbit — plus the airport chaos that ended with ICE agents stepping into major U.S. airports as TSA staffing buckled, the Democrats’ bizarre new obsession with “hotter candidates,” and a tribute to Chuck Norris that separates the real man from the media caricature.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

📍 WHAT WE COVER TODAY:

✈️ ICE AT THE AIRPORT: HOW TSA CHAOS GOT THIS BAD

The DHS funding fight, the airport lines, the TSA staffing crisis, and the extraordinary image now defining the story: ICE agents stepping into airports as the federal government scrambles to keep security functioning. Austin explains how we got here, why Democrats own more of this than they want to admit, and why the public is turning against a political class that keeps breaking basic systems.

🔥 ZOHRAN MAMDANI’S WIFE HAS A TERRORISM PROBLEM

The scandal hanging over New York’s new mayor is no longer just about socialism, free buses, or budget gimmicks. It is about judgment, associations, and the radical worldview inside the mayor’s own household. Austin walks through the controversy surrounding Mamdani’s wife, the posts and political questions fueling backlash, the dinner guests and ideological signals coming out of City Hall, and why this story is becoming much bigger than a tabloid sideshow. This is about who New York actually elected and what kind of politics is now sitting inside Gracie Mansion.

💋 DEMOCRATS WANT HOTTER CANDIDATES NOW

After losing the country, the Democrats may have found their newest strategy: better jawlines. A new elite liberal conversation says the party’s problem is not just policy or messaging, but optics, charisma, masculinity, and sex appeal. Austin breaks down the absurdity of a movement that spent years policing beauty standards and “objectification” only to decide it now needs hotter candidates to survive.

🥋 CHUCK NORRIS WAS MORE THAN THE MEME

The media and the internet turned Chuck Norris into a joke. The real story is better. Austin closes the show with a tribute to the man himself — his rise from poverty, his discipline, his friendship and rivalry with Bruce Lee, and why the real Chuck Norris represented something far more serious than a punchline.

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

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.

HOCHUL’S HUMILIATION: BILLIONAIRE EXODUS FROM BLUE STATES TO RED

On today's Wake Up America, we open with the story that perfectly captures everything wrong with the American Left: New York Governor Kathy Hochul stood at a podium and begged millionaires to come home after her state spent years taxing them out of it. New York has lost $111 billion in net income to migration over the last decade. 1,700 millionaires changed their address in 2024 alone. The city faces a $12 billion budget hole. And Hochul's solution is to ask Trump to go to Palm Beach and "bring them back." Then Austin turns to the biggest broken promise in recent political memory -- DOGE. The chainsaw. The $2 trillion. The 28-year-old who used ChatGPT to cancel DEI And the one man in Argentina who actually did what DOGE promised -- and proved you can't cut government by firing people. You have to change what the government is authorized to do.

Forced Sterilization, Peak Food, Peak Oil: Why Doomsayers Were Wrong @Rarecamellia @Mailynspeaks

This morning, we’re taking on elite incompetence from every angle. First, the Jones Act fight takes center stage as Trump weighs a waiver while the Iran war pushes gas prices higher and exposes just how weak America’s protected shipping system really is.

And later, the failed fear politics of Paul Ehrlich get the reckoning they deserve. The Population Bomb mindset taught the West to fear children, fear growth, and fear the future itself. The predictions failed. The panic did not.

Then it’s the TSA mess, where unpaid security workers, airport disruptions, and Kristi Noem’s DHS spin machine are colliding in real time. Is this just another congressional food fight, or proof that Noem can do TV better than she can run a department?

In the second half, Cuba is back in the dark. Mailyn Salabarria joins the show to break down the blackouts, the regime’s talks with Washington, and why the socialist fantasy keeps crashing into reality.

⛽ TRUMP’S JONES ACT GAMBLE: Why the Iran oil shock is exposing one of America’s dumbest and most overrated shipping laws.

🛂 KRISTI NOEM’S TSA MESS: Unpaid airport security workers, long lines, and a DHS that always seems to have talking points ready before solutions.

🎙️ CAMELLIA JOINS THE SHOW: Breaking down the TSA disruption, Noem’s leadership, and why frontline workers keep getting treated like political collateral.

🌴 MAILYN SALABARRIA: On Cuba’s collapse, the regime’s negotiations with Washington, and why the people always pay for socialist lies.

💣 THE POPULATION BOMB FRAUD: Why Paul Ehrlich’s fearmongering was dumb, wrong, and far more damaging than the elites want to admit.

THE BIGFOOT ECONOMY: HOW AMERICA LEARNED TO BUY LIES

This morning, we're pulling back the curtain on the industry that has been selling America monsters since 1967 -- and making billions doing it.

First, the conspiracy racket gets the full autopsy. From the man who faked Bigfoot in a California riverbed to the goat gland doctor who killed 42 patients on a hundred-dollar diploma, to Alex Jones moving $165 million in supplements by preaching apocalypse -- we follow the money, name the names, and explain exactly how fear becomes a product.

Then it gets darker. Henry Ford built the most dangerous conspiracy machine in American history, put his name on it, distributed it through every Ford dealership in the country, and watched it get quoted in Mein Kampf. We trace the direct line from the Dearborn Independent to the grifters running the same playbook today -- and we explain why the water slide got reopened, who benefits from where it exits now, and why the people selling you conspiracy content are not your friends.

And then the biggest breaking story of the day. Joe Kent -- eleven combat deployments, Trump's own Senate-confirmed counterterrorism director -- resigned this morning and went on record. His letter says Iran posed no imminent threat and that this war was driven by Israeli pressure. The White House says he was a known leaker who was about to be fired anyway. Judge Andrew Napolitano joins the show to break down the law, the war powers, and who is telling the truth.

🦶 THE BIGFOOT ECONOMY: How a sixty-second film shot in 1967 launched a billion-dollar industry -- and wrote the playbook every conspiracy grifter still uses today.

🐐 THE GOAT GLAND DOCTOR: John Brinkley killed 42 patients, nearly became Governor of Kansas, and only admitted his fraud under oath in a courtroom. Sound familiar?

📰 HENRY FORD'S POISON PEN: The most admired man in America ran a 900,000-reader antisemitic newspaper, got quoted in Mein Kampf, accepted a Nazi medal eleven years after his "apology," and never changed his mind. We connect the dots to 2026.

🎢 THE WATER SLIDE: John Doyle's sharpest argument yet -- the conspiracy pipeline used to exit at supporting Trump. Now it exits at disengagement, self-destruction, and eating your own. Who opened it back up and why?

⚖️ JUDGE NAP ON JOE KENT: The first senior Trump official to resign over the Iran war goes on record. War powers, whistleblower law, classified obligations, and the battle between unnamed sources and a letter that speaks for itself.

The Jester has been unmasked. 🇺🇸 Monday morning, we are diving deep into the high-stakes intelligence feint that turned the biggest media star in the world into an unwitting asset for the American war machine.

⚖️ WILL CHAMBERLAIN: Senior Counsel for the Article 3 Project breaks down the legal reality of the CIA referral and FARA violations.
