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
• Interviews with lawmakers, policy experts, journalists, and rising voices

Austin brings a unique mix of nationalist instinct and libertarian economics — defending free markets, calling out corruption on the right and left, challenging reckless foreign policy, exposing government overreach, and defending American values without apology.
