RFK JR. BETRAYS MAHA? The Truth About Trump’s New Glyphosate Order
RISE AND FREEDOM, AMERICA! The "Make America Healthy Again" movement is facing its first major identity crisis. Today, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. shocked his base by backing a massive new Executive Order from President Trump that invokes the Defense Production Act to boost the production of Glyphosate—the very chemical RFK Jr. spent decades fighting in court.
Is this a masterstroke of national security to end our reliance on Chinese phosphorus, or a total surrender to Big Ag?
In this deep-dive A1 segment, Austin Petersen breaks down the science, the politics, and the "Kauffman Challenge." We look at the legal war in Missouri, the difference between "hazard" and "risk," and why the U.S. military suddenly cares about weedkiller.
Plus: * The Cartel Code Red: Chaos erupts in Puerto Vallarta after the fall of "El Mencho." We analyze the Bukele/Milei blueprint for crushing narco-terrorists.
The Death of the Swipe: Is the era of Tinder over? Camellia Petersen joins to discuss why Gen Z is turning to "Wrestling Speed Dating" and AI bots to solve the loneliness epidemic.
The Missouri Front: State Senator Kurtis Gregory joins the show to discuss the battle to protect American farmers from "lawfare" and foreign dependency.

The media is in a state of total meltdown after John Davidson, a man living with severe Tourette’s Syndrome, ticked a racial slur during the BAFTA awards. But while the "Outrage Industrial Complex" is busy ritualistically condemning a man for his biology, Austin Petersen is digging into the science, the history, and the dangerous superstition of modern linguistic taboos.
In this episode, we strip the "magical power" away from the words that the regime uses to control your speech and your mind.
In this episode:
🧠 THE BIOLOGY OF A "BRAIN SNEEZE": Austin breaks down the medical reality of Coprolalia and why the Basal Ganglia doesn't care about your feelings.
📜 SECULAR BLASPHEMY: How we traded the religious witch trials of the 1600s for the "sensitivity" tribunals of 2026.
🎤 THE LENNY BRUCE LESSON: Why the only way to disarm a "super-weapon" word is to stop treating it like a nuclear bomb.
⚖️ JUDGE NAPOLITANO ON HIGH-SEAS EXECUTIONS: The Judge joins the show to expose a disturbing new Pentagon policy of "Second Strikes" on cartel survivors and what it means for the Constitution.

The War for the American Dynamo has begun. 🇺🇸
Today on Wake Up America, Austin Petersen breaks down the civilizational struggle between the "Accelerators" and the "Decelerators." From the Supreme Court’s massive strike against executive overreach on tariffs to the new Luddites trying to pull the plug on American AI, the battle lines are drawn.
Plus, we dive into the Olympic controversy everyone is talking about: Why are some "patriots" hesitant to cheer for Gold Medalist Alysa Liu? Austin exposes the hollow mercenary path of Eileen Gu, invokes the wisdom of Ronald Reagan, and explains why you don't need an athlete to validate your politics to celebrate an American victory over the CCP.
In this episode:
⚖️ SCOTUS vs. Tariffs: Why Gorsuch just saved the Separation of Powers and struck a blow for the Constitution.
⚛️ The Data Center War: How NIMBYs and "Decel-Commies" are sabotaging our energy future in Maryland and beyond.
⛸️ The Liu Legacy: The incredible story of a Tiananmen dissident’s daughter taking the crown in Milan.
💸 The Gu Grift: Why Eileen Gu is the ultimate mercenary for a regime that persecutes its own workers.
🕯️ Bastiat’s Revenge: Why the "Candlemaker's Petition" is the ultimate debunk of modern protectionism.
🦅 Reagan’s Wisdom: A classic clip that proves why American freedom is still the envy of the world.

This week on Freedom Family Friday, Austin and Stephanie break down the cultural shift nobody saw coming: people are ditching their smart homes.
Electricians report rising demand to remove smart systems. Subscription doorbells. Thermostats that fail. Privacy risks. Digital fatigue. Is “convenience” quietly costing us control?
But that’s just the start.
🔥 Why polyamory is being challenged as socially corrosive and biologically flawed
📚 “Wisdom Flexing” — why depth and real books are replacing hot takes
⚡ The rise of hyper-productivity culture fueled by modern stimulants
🐶 An Olympic dog steals the spotlight and what it says about cultural vibes
🧥 The return of unapologetic luxury and the end of performative activism
This is the cultural reset episode. Technology, relationships, productivity, family life — all in one conversation.
We’re asking the bigger question:
Are we over-engineered and under-wise?
Join the conversation below 👇
Have you ditched smart tech?
Are we craving simplicity again?

The State is coming for your life, your wallet, and your reputation. Today on Wake Up America, Austin Petersen breaks down the horrifying reality of Canada’s "Medical Assistance in Dying" (MAID) program. We’re going deep on the case of Kiano Vafaeian, a 26-year-old blind man with type 1 diabetes whose "seasonal depression" was treated with a lethal injection rather than a winter coat and a light box. 🇨🇦💉
Is this "compassion," or is it the logical, bloody conclusion of socialized medicine? When the government runs your healthcare, you’re no longer a patient—you’re a line-item liability. We examine reports suggesting the Canadian state is looking at hundreds of millions in "savings" by euthanizing the vulnerable, the disabled, and the poor.
ALSO IN THIS EPISODE:
THE EPSTEIN GRIFTER FILES: The media narrative is hitting a brick wall. We dissect the Tara Palmeri/Michael Tracey dust-up and why 3.5 million newly released documents just absolved Donald Trump of the wild "A-List Sex Ring" fan-fiction. 📁⚖️
THE POPULIST HORSESHOE: Why are Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna "unmasking" innocent private citizens on the House floor? Austin gives a tongue-lashing to the politicians whipping up moral panics for Twitter clips. 🏛️🤡
TRAD-GRIFT OR SOFT LIFE? Camellia Peterson joins to roast the "Stay-at-Home Girlfriend" trend. Is it a return to tradition, or a Marxist ploy to get taxpayer-funded "housework wages"? 💅☕️

RO KHANNA’S EPSTEIN FACE-PLANT: Innocent Men Smeared to Protect the Real Predators?
The Epstein saga just took its most bizarre and dangerous turn yet. This week, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) marched onto the House floor claiming to "unmask" the wealthy elites being shielded by the DOJ. There’s just one problem: it appears they accidentally nuked the reputations of random private citizens who were just part of a photo lineup.
Austin Petersen breaks down the spectacular legal malpractice in D.C., the redefinition of "adulthood" by professional survivors, and why the "Epstein Files" are being used as a political prop while the real co-conspirators remain in the shadows.
TODAY’S LINEUP:
🛑 THE A1 BLOCK: The "Adult Grooming" Grift. How the Me-Too era is erasing individual agency so former models can collect tax-free millions. Plus, the Ro Khanna photo lineup disaster—how Congress became a tabloid rag.
🚛 A2 INTERVIEW: Journalist Adam Coleman joins the show to discuss his explosive new documentary on the deadly reality of illegal aliens with CDLs operating 40-ton rigs on our highways.
🗳️ B1 MISSOURI UPDATE: Camellia Peterson (Americans for Prosperity) reports on the historic push to finally abolish the Missouri income tax and the battle for school choice in the Show-Me State.
🥊 B2 MAYORAL BID: Tish Hyman was banned from Gold’s Gym for protecting women's locker rooms. Now, she’s running for Mayor of Los Angeles to bring common sense back to the West Coast.

🚨 Oakland's acclaimed Burdell adds mandatory 20% service charge with a lecture on tipping's "ugly racist past" — diners call it peak woke, flood with one-star reviews and threats. We break down the facts, the backlash, and why moral fees on bills are a losing game.
Then: RFK Jr. expands SNAP junk-food bans — more states block soda/candy with taxpayer dollars. Politico's hilarious quiz shows the bureaucratic mess, but the goal is spot-on: stop subsidizing obesity epidemics. Personal responsibility wins.
Full show: Marco Rubio's Munich defense of Western civilization (changed or adapted?), John Ziegler on why he ditched Thomas Massie over Epstein files drama, history lessons on due process vs. mob justice.
