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
• Rapid-fire solo segments that blend history, philosophy, and modern politics
This isn’t performative outrage. It’s strategic thinking for people who care about Western civilization, individual liberty, and limited government.
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.

The Open Road is under attack. A new coalition of governors is pushing to replace the gas tax with a mandatory GPS-based "Mileage Tax." They call it a "User Fee." We call it a surveillance state nightmare. Austin breaks down the pilot programs that want to track exactly where you drive—and tax you for it.
Plus, the price tag is dead. A bombshell report reveals Instacart is charging neighbors different prices for the same groceries. The media says it's "gouging," but is "Surge Pricing" actually a brilliant tool for business owners to manage demand? We play Devil's Advocate.
Also on the show:
Judge Andrew Napolitano (@Judgenap) joins us to discuss the "Deep State" leaks regarding the Venezuela boat strike and the landmark Supreme Court case Trump v. Slaughter. Can the President finally fire the bureaucracy?
Joel Berry (@JoelWBerry) from The Babylon Bee stops by to discuss the "Postliberal Right." Are conservatives becoming the very authoritarians they swore to defeat?

THEY AREN'T HUMAN: Proof Nick Fuentes is Leading a Foreign Bot Army
The receipts are in, and the "Groyper Revolution" is a lie. A bombshell new report reveals that 61% of the online engagement driving the fringe Right isn't coming from American voters—it's coming from paid bot farms in Pakistan, Indonesia, and Russia. Austin Petersen breaks down the foreign psychological operation designed to rot the MAGA movement from the inside out.
Plus, the Deep State is finally on trial. In Trump v. Slaughter, the Supreme Court appears ready to dismantle the "Fourth Branch" of government, with Chief Justice Roberts calling the bureaucracy a "dried husk." Is this the end of the unaccountable federal regulator?
Today’s Show Rundown: 🔥 The Deep State Dies: SCOTUS prepares to give the President the power to fire the bureaucracy. 🎬 Streaming Wars: Netflix bids $82B for Warner Bros, but Trump says "Not so fast." 🏥 Dirt Field Medicine: Camellia Peterson (@Rarecamellia) exposes the laws blocking new hospitals. 🤖 Bot Farm Exposed: Colin Wright (@SwipeWright) reveals the data proving the Fuentes movement is a foreign Psy-Op.

THE SOMALI FRAUD STATE: $1B STOLEN, A CINNABON MELTDOWN, AND THE WHITE HOUSE CRACKDOWN
Minnesota just became ground zero for one of the biggest welfare fraud scandals in American history — more than $1 BILLION stolen through fake autism centers, kickbacks, overseas real estate, and money that may have even reached the Somali terrorist group al-Shabab.
Now CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz is warning Gov. Tim Walz that Minnesota could lose federal Medicaid funding unless the state cleans up decades of corruption and identity-politics paralysis.
And while billions vanish, a Cinnabon worker is instantly fired after a viral confrontation with a Somali couple — the perfect symbol of America’s double standard: protected activist groups get political immunity while working-class Americans get crushed.
Meanwhile, the Trump White House has launched Operation Metro Surge, ripping violent Somali offenders off the streets of Minneapolis and exposing what Democrats refused to acknowledge for years.
Today we break it ALL down.
