AOC Has Plans to Become a God-Queen
Monday May 11, 2026
Monday May 11, 2026
AOC WANTS TO BECOME A GOD-QUEEN
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says her agenda is bigger than any election — and she means it. Tom Pappert joins to break down the redistricting war reshaping the 2026 midterms after the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act. Jon Miltimore on the EEOC suing the New York Times for racial discrimination — and why the paper's defense sounds exactly like what conservatives have been saying for a decade. And Navy SEAL sniper instructor Brandon Webb wrote a parenting book that is not what you expect.
🗽 AOC's "forever" agenda — and the last guy who talked like this turned Venezuela into a famine
⚖️ Tennessee wipes out its only Democratic seat — Tom Pappert on the redistricting sprint nobody saw coming
🗞️ The EEOC just sued the New York Times for DEI discrimination — Jon Miltimore on how the legal reckoning finally arrived
🪖 Brandon Webb trained SEAL snipers — now he's teaching parents how to raise kids who don't break

Attack of the Rabid Swamp Beaver! A True American Horror Story
Friday May 08, 2026
Friday May 08, 2026
IT'S FREEDOM FAMILY FRIDAY -- Austin, Steffi, and Justin break down the week's biggest stories, from California's political circus to a rabid beaver terrorizing a fishing trip in New Jersey.
🦫 ATTACK OF THE RABID SWAMP BEAVER -- An 8-year-old was fishing with his family in New Jersey when a rabid beaver charged out of the lake and bit him in the leg. The animal has been dealt with. The Second Amendment conversation writes itself.
🎬 SPENCER PRATT FOR LA MAYOR -- The Hills villain debated incumbent Karen Bass and socialist Nithya Raman last night and walked away the winner. His house burned in the Palisades fires. Now he wants Bass's job -- and CNN says he passed the test.
📉 KATIE PORTER IS COLLAPSING -- Three viral meltdown videos, a billionaire donor she publicly attacked, and a campaign ad that jokes about her own worst moments. She was polling first. She's at 10% now. Trump-backed Steve Hilton is leading the race.
📺 FCC WANTS TO LABEL TRANS CONTENT IN KIDS' TV -- Chairman Brendan Carr opened a formal comment period asking whether the ratings system should flag transgender content in children's programming. The left calls it a culture war stunt. Parents call it a start.
😬 KIDS ON THE BEACH CAN'T NAME THE YEAR AMERICA WAS FOUNDED -- Viral video, real problem. Only 13% of 8th graders scored proficient on U.S. history -- an all-time low. America turns 250 next year and half the country can't explain why.
🕌 AN EGYPTIAN PASTOR WARNS AMERICA ABOUT ISLAM -- He watched it happen in his own country. The U.S. is 1% Muslim. England is at 6%. Pew projects Muslims surpass Jews as America's second-largest religious group by 2040. Is complacency the real threat?

Abolish the Libertarian Party? ft @jeremykauffman & @MaggieModa
Thursday May 07, 2026
Thursday May 07, 2026
The Founders didn't build a libertarian utopia or a progressive origin myth — they built libertarian nationalism, and 250 years later Washington can't define it. Austin reads what Jefferson, Hamilton, Madison, and Jay actually wrote and makes the argument both sides need you to never hear.
Then: Rubio quoted Cypress Hill and started a 2028 primary nobody announced. Vance was in Iowa explaining a war he privately opposed. We run both men through the libertarian nationalist scorecard.
Jeremy Kauffman — blockchain entrepreneur and LP of New Hampshire chairman — joins to answer whether a party with no senators, no governors, and a peak of three percent still deserves to exist. The national LP censured his state party. He endorsed Trump anyway.
And Maggie Anders, Young Voices Commentator, breaks down Spencer Pratt's run for Mayor of LA — second place in a fourteen-candidate field, Joe Rogan's backing, a viral Gotham ad, and five weeks to the June 2nd primary. Karen Bass called it a Trump impression. Los Angeles is a lot right now.
🏛️ Jefferson, Hamilton, Madison, and Jay — what they actually wrote, why the Founders were libertarian nationalists before the term existed, and why both the left and the right need you to never make this argument
⚔️ The 2028 primary scorecard: Rubio vs. Vance on economics, foreign policy, and character — who passes the libertarian nationalist test and who is performing loyalty instead of governing by conviction
🗳️ The Libertarian Party at fifty-three years old — no presidents, no senators, one percent of the vote on a good night, and a state chairman who endorsed Trump over his own party's nominee
🎬 Spencer Pratt for Mayor of LA — the Palisades fire, the cover-up, the homeless industrial complex, the viral ads, and whether an outsider can actually crack the deep blue urban machine with five weeks to go

Israel Grifters: The Ultimate Leftist Psyop Debunked
Wednesday May 06, 2026
Wednesday May 06, 2026
The American right has a Jewish problem -- and it's not the one the Groypers think it is. Today we tell the story they buried in your history class: Haym Salomon, the Polish-born Jewish immigrant who financed the Revolution, raised the $20,000 that funded Yorktown, personally lent money to Madison, Jefferson, and Monroe at no interest, and died broke at 44 while Congress stiffed his family. Then we make the libertarian nationalist case for why Israel and America share the same civilizational DNA -- and why the foreign-amplified antisemitism operation currently running inside the right is not America First. It never was. Plus Judge Andrew Napolitano on the Trump DOJ indicting James Comey over a photo of seashells, and writer Kevin Boyd on Austin's libertarian nationalist manifesto.
💰 Haym Salomon -- the forgotten founder who financed the Revolution
📜 The Protocols of the Elders of Zion -- the 1903 Russian forgery that became Hitler's blueprint and never went away
🔍 DataRepublican's forensic breakdown of Nick Fuentes's synthetic X amplification
⚖️ Judge Napolitano on Comey, the First Amendment, Brandenburg, Watts, and a prosecution that should not survive first contact with a federal judge
📖 Kevin Boyd (@TheKevinBoyd) on Austin's libertarian nationalist manifesto -- what it gets right, what it demands, and whether the liberty movement can actually govern
Guests: Judge Andrew Napolitano (@JudgeNap) · Kevin Boyd (@TheKevinBoyd)

Can Spencer Pratt Save Los Angeles?
Sunday May 03, 2026
Sunday May 03, 2026
WAKE UP AMERICA WITH AUSTIN PETERSEN | MAY 4, 2026
CAN SPENCER PRATT SAVE LOS ANGELES? Early voting starts TODAY in the race to replace Karen Bass -- and the man from The Hills is polling in second place. We break down why the joke became a serious indictment of Democrat governance in America's second-largest city.
THEN: Elizabeth Warren killed Spirit Airlines. Saturday morning at 3am, after 34 years and 17,000 jobs, Spirit shut off the lights. Warren's only response? Her 2024 tweet calling the merger block "a Biden win for flyers." Secretary Sean Duffy named names Saturday morning. We have everything.
PLUS: The Supreme Court handed down a 6-3 ruling Wednesday that effectively rewrites the Voting Rights Act -- and Florida redrew its congressional map within the HOUR. Dan McCarthy from Heritage joins us to break it all down.
AND: Jon Miltimore of AIER joins us live as well as Dan McCarthy from Heritage.

ON MONDAY APRIL 27TH, THIRTY-SIX HOURS AFTER A MAN NAMED COLE TOMAS ALLEN WALKED INTO THE WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS DINNER WITH A SHOTGUN, A HANDGUN, AND KNIVES AND TRIED TO ASSASSINATE THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, WAKE UP AMERICA BUILDS THE COMPLETE CASE — FROM BUTLER TO WEST PALM BEACH TO THE WASHINGTON HILTON. THIS IS THE THIRD ATTEMPT ON TRUMP'S LIFE AND THIS MORNING WE TELL YOU EVERYTHING THE MAINSTREAM PRESS WON'T.
Austin Petersen breaks down nine years of left-wing rhetoric that built the ideology behind Saturday night's attack — Hasan Piker justifying political murder in the New York Times five days before the shooting, Hakeem Jeffries calling for "maximum warfare everywhere all the time," Jimmy Kimmel calling Melania Trump an "expectant widow" three days before a man tried to make her one, and the left calling the whole thing staged before the smoke cleared.
GUESTS THIS EPISODE:
▶ Maggie Moda —@MaggieModa— On the assassination attempt, Erika Kirk's heartbreaking moment Saturday night, and why the left can't stop targeting the widow of Charlie Kirk
▶ Jon Miltimore, Senior Editor at AIER — @Miltimore79 — On the free speech paradox at the heart of this attack: the left spent years arguing speech is violence, and Cole Allen just proved their speech produces it

Redhead Renaissance? The Age Gingers Begins!
Friday Apr 24, 2026
Friday Apr 24, 2026
It's Freedom Family Friday and the Petersen family is bringing the heat!
Today's episode covers Missouri's landmark bathroom bill -- the redhead science story taking the internet by storm -- Kamala Harris telling Black women to say "imma get mine" while rocking a brand new accent -- the death of dating in America -- and the great workforce flip that nobody in Washington wants to talk about.
🪧 Missouri just passed HB 2536 -- every Democrat voted no
🧬 A Nature study says gingers are multiplying -- and science can't explain why 🎤 Kamala's "blaccent" is back and she wants Black women to be transactional
💔 Only 30% of young adults are actively dating -- and they don't know why
👩💼 Women now hold more jobs than men for the first time in 250 years -- and still do more housework
