Thursday Mar 05, 2026
The world is watching as tensions in the Strait of Hormuz hit a breaking point. Austin Petersen breaks down why shipping insurance giants like Lloyd's of London are officially abandoning the Gulf, creating a maritime blockade that could send the global economy into a tailspin.

UNVEILED & ARMED: The Iranian Women Dancing on the Ayatollah’s Grave
Tuesday Mar 03, 2026
Tuesday Mar 03, 2026
The "Slave Pen" is falling in real-time. :eagle:
On today’s episode of Wake Up America, Austin Petersen breaks down the historic viral footage of the "Trump Dance" taking over the streets of Tehran following the decapitation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). We look at the "Petersen Doctrine" in action: why the 1979 Marxist betrayal of Iranian women has finally been rectified by the granddaughters of the revolution.
We also dive deep into the "Missouri Miracle." As HJR 174 moves to the floor in Jefferson City, Missouri is on the verge of becoming the nation's premier "Financial Fortress" by abolishing the state income tax. Plus, we analyze the "Hormuz Trap"—how President Trump's energy strategy is decoupling the West from the Petro-Axis of Russia, China, and Venezuela.
Topics Discussed:
:dancer: The Tehran Trump Dance: Why the "Blowback" theory was a geopolitical myth.
:scroll: Women of the Vanguard: How Masih Alinejad, Narges Mohammadi, and Sepideh Qolian are reclaiming Persian sovereignty.
:house: Missouri HJR 174: The 5-year countdown to Zero Income Tax in the Show-Me State.

GUNBOAT DIPLOMACY: Why Trump Is Ignoring The UN & Going It Alone
Tuesday Mar 03, 2026
Tuesday Mar 03, 2026
The "Black Ships" are back on the horizon! 🚢💨 Today on Wake Up America, Austin Petersen breaks down the massive U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran and the immediate civilizational fallout shattering the Western alliance. From Spain ejecting American aircraft to Keir Starmer’s "Iraq PTSD," we explore why the era of instant allied obedience is officially over.
Is America going it alone? Or is the "Man in the Arena" finally identifying who our true friends are? We dive deep into the 1853 history of Commodore Perry and how it explains Donald Trump’s 2026 playbook.
🔥 IN THIS EPISODE:
🗽 A1: AMERICA GOES IT ALONE – The Atlantic rift is here. We break down the "conditional ally" era, Spain’s betrayal, and why the U.S. Constitution—not a UN subcommittee—is the ultimate standard for American action.
🚢 A2: THE BLACK SHIPS RETURN – A cinematic look at Commodore Matthew Perry’s 1853 mission to Japan and how Trump is using "Gunboat Diplomacy" to force China and Russia into a total retreat in the Middle East.
⚖️ B1: JUDGE NAP VS. THE STATE – Judge Andrew Napolitano joins the show for a high-stakes clash. Is the Iran strike a "War of Choice" or a vital shield? We stress-test the Constitution against the reality of a nuclear-armed rogue state.
🤠 B2: SOUTHERN SHADE – We’re putting the cowards in their place! Using 11 classic Southern phrases, we tell our "precious" allies exactly what we think of their restraint.

Operation Epic Fury decapitated the Iranian regime, neutralized the nuclear breakout, and shattered the "Rules-Based International Order" that has kept the West in chains for decades. In this special two-hour broadcast, Austin Petersen breaks down the most significant geopolitical shift of the 21st century.
HOUR 1: THE MANIFESTO
Austin delivers a monumental 60-minute monologue on why he has officially walked away from the "Blowback" theories of the past to embrace Libertarian Nationalism.
🚀 The Tactical Reality: How B-2 Spirits from Whiteman AFB dismantled the IRGC in 48 hours.
⚖️ The Azerrad Doctrine: Why "International Law" is a weaponized trap designed to ensure we never win.
📚 The Philosophical Artillery: Direct quotes and lessons from Robert Heinlein, Ayn Rand, and Robert Greene on the utility of naked force.
✍️ The Humanist Victory: Why Salman Rushdie and Christopher Hitchens get the last laugh over theocratic thuggery.
HOUR 2: THE FALLOUT
Austin is joined by top experts to analyze the ground-level reality and the libertarian response.
🛡️ Jon Miltimore (FEE): The classical libertarian skeptic’s take on the constitutional and economic risks of the strike.
🌍 Fardad Farahzad (Iran International): Reporting on the chaos in Tehran—are the people finally ready to take their country back?
The era of strategic patience is dead. The era of strategic dominance has begun.

Can Your Marriage Survive 2026?
Friday Feb 27, 2026
Friday Feb 27, 2026
Marriage is under pressure like never before — from money stress to dating culture collapse to shifting gender roles in the workplace.
Tonight on Freedom Family Friday, Austin and Stephanie break down the real forces putting modern families through the jungle gauntlet.
💰 Six-figure families now say they feel financially strained as housing, childcare, insurance, and debt crush household budgets
📉 Dating apps are losing users as Gen Z burns out on swipe culture and commitment declines
🏢 Corporate return-to-office mandates and workplace culture shifts are reshaping marriage dynamics and breadwinner roles
📊 U.S. birth rates remain below replacement as more couples delay or opt out of parenthood
Is this cultural evolution… or family instability?
We’re talking:
• Is money the biggest threat to marriage in 2026?
• Did dating apps quietly damage long-term commitment?
• Are modern gender expectations strengthening or weakening families?
• Why are fewer Americans choosing marriage and children?
The jungle is real. The pressure is real. The question is — can your marriage survive it?
Join the conversation in the comments:
What’s the biggest pressure on marriages right now?

BANANA REPUBLIC: Why the Rust Belt is Killing its Own Recovery
Thursday Feb 26, 2026
Thursday Feb 26, 2026
BANANA REPUBLIC OR REBELLION? Today on Wake Up America, we are dissecting the "Permanent Banana Republic" where the elite trade stocks while the working class fights for the right to build a chip factory. We’re breaking down the absurd "BANANA" (Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anything) NIMBYism killing the Rust Belt, the silence of Nancy Pelosi during Trump’s State of the Union call for a stock ban, and the terrifying new push for "Emotional Labor" regulation.
Missouri Lobbyist Camellia Peterson from Americans for Prosperity joins the show to discuss why the Nanny State wants to audit your office "vibes" and tax your smiles. Plus, we look back at the 250th Anniversary of Henry Knox’s "Noble Train of Artillery" to remember what real American grit looks like.
