Can Spencer Pratt Save Los Angeles?
May 302:01:03Tap to summarizeWAKE 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.

Aryan America? The SPLC had a Little Help from Biden and Friends
Apr 2402:02:21Tap to summarizeAMAZON BANNED YOUR CHURCH, YOUTUBE FLAGGED YOUR VIDEOS, AND PAYPAL SHUT DOWN YOUR ACCOUNT BASED ON THE HATE MAP OF AN ORGANIZATION THAT WAS SECRETLY WRITING CHECKS TO THE KU KLUX KLAN, AND THIS WEEK THEY GOT HIT WITH AN ELEVEN-COUNT FEDERAL INDICTMENT. The Southern Poverty Law Center has been federally indicted on wire fraud, bank fraud, and money laundering charges. The DOJ alleges they secretly funneled more than three million dollars to operatives inside the KKK, the Aryan Nations, the National Alliance, and the National Socialist Movement -- while using their hate map to get conservative and Christian organizations deplatformed, debanked, and destroyed. One of their paid operatives was in the leadership chat group that planned the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. Biden's DOJ opened the investigation and closed it. Trump's DOJ reopened it. Now it's a grand jury indictment. We have the full breakdown -- the Charlottesville detail the media is burying, the Big Tech angle nobody else is running, and the question of who in Biden's DOJ decided this file wasn't worth pursuing. Then -- the science of fatherhood that the culture does not want you to hear. A Notre Dame anthropologist spent an entire pregnancy collecting his own saliva every week and sending it to a lab to measure his own testosterone in real time. What he found was later confirmed across 624 men in the largest longitudinal study of fatherhood ever conducted. Your brain physically rewires when you show up. Your testosterone doesn't drop -- it redirects. And fatherlessness isn't just a social crisis. It's a hormonal one, compounding across generations. Forty percent out-of-wedlock birth rate and nobody in Washington will say what the peer-reviewed science already knows. We will. 🏛️ SPLC INDICTED -- the shell companies, the Charlottesville operative, the seven hundred million dollar endowment with Cayman Islands accounts, and the Biden DOJ decision to bury the investigation 💻 THE BIG TECH ANGLE -- Amazon, YouTube, PayPal, Eventbrite, and Discover Card all enforced the SPLC hate map while the SPLC was allegedly on the phone with the Imperial Wizard of the United Klans of America 🧬 THE SCIENCE OF FATHERHOOD -- testosterone, gray matter rewiring, the generational hormonal crisis nobody is naming, and what Pete Davidson's tattoo removal actually tells us about male biology 🎙️ MAGGIE ANDERS breaks down the Sydney Sweeney backlash and the SPLC story as two chapters of the same collapse -- who controls the narrative in America and what happens when that control starts to crack 🗳️ JAMES WILEY -- the Red Flame of Liberty, former Executive Director of the Libertarian Party of Colorado, now running for Colorado Secretary of State as a Republican -- on Tina Peters, decertifying the machines, and why the sleeper race in Colorado matters to every liberty-minded voter in the country GUESTS THIS EPISODE: 🎙️ Maggie Anders -- @maggiemoda on X 🎙️ James Wiley -- @redflameliberty on X ☕ FOUNDING FLAVORS COFFEE AND THE FULL LIBERTY COLLECTION: → 4LibertyShop.com 🌍 PROTECT YOUR WEALTH AND EXPLORE LIFE OUTSIDE THE SYSTEM: → ExpatMoney.com/Austin 🤝 JOIN THE COMMUNITY ON DISCORD: → 4libertynetwork.com 💪 SUPPORT THE NETWORK AND KEEP INDEPENDENT CONSERVATIVE MEDIA ALIVE: → wakeupamericashow.com/support #WakeUpAmerica #AustinPetersen #SPLC #SouthernPovertyLawCenter #SPLCIndicted #BigTech #BidenDOJ #ElectionIntegrity #TinaPeters #LibertyNationalism #JamesWiley #SydneySweeney #Euphoria #Fatherhood #Testosterone #KKK #Charlottesville #ConservativeMedia #Rumble #FreedomMedia

No Tattoo Vindication? Pete Davidson Burns Spongebob Off his Arm
Apr 2302:03:41Tap to summarizeWAKE UP AMERICA | THE SPLC WAS PAYING THE KKK, THE SUPREME COURT'S SECRET POWER GRAB, AND PETE DAVIDSON'S $700K MISTAKE Yesterday the federal government indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center on eleven counts of fraud and money laundering — accusing the organization of secretly funneling three million dollars in donor money to Klansmen, neo-Nazis, and Aryan Nations members through shell companies, in order to manufacture the very extremism they were raising hundreds of millions of dollars to fight. Today we go through every line of that indictment — the prepaid cards, the shell companies, the Unite the Right connection, the hate map that was used to blacklist conservative America, and the question nobody in the legacy media will ask: how many of the dots on that map were kept alive on donor money? Then Judge Andrew Napolitano joins us to break open a story buried for ten years — how Chief Justice John Roberts and four colleagues secretly rewired the Supreme Court in February 2016 while Justice Scalia was on vacation, erased two hundred years of constitutional precedent, and gave birth to the Shadow Docket. This one will make your blood boil. Plus O.W. Root of The Fitting Room joins us on Pete Davidson's $700K tattoo removal journey, the cleanskin vindication, and what his laser bill tells us about American men, identity, and a culture that confused trend-following for self-expression. 🔥 THE HATE INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX — The SPLC raised hundreds of millions fighting hate. A federal grand jury says they were funding it. The Imperial Wizard of the United Klans of America was on their payroll. A member of the Unite the Right leadership group was on their payroll. And their hate map — the one used to blacklist the Family Research Council, Turning Point USA, Moms for Liberty, and dozens of other conservative organizations — was being populated by people they were paying. Charlie Kirk warned about it a year before the indictment. He's not here to see it confirmed. ⚖️ THE SHADOW DOCKET — In February 2016, Chief Justice Roberts passed notes to eight vacationing colleagues and asked them to rule on a case that wasn't before them — without briefing, without oral argument, without debate. Justice Scalia cast his final vote. He died the next day. And the Supreme Court has never been the same. 🪞 THE CLEANSKIN VINDICATION — Pete Davidson is thirty percent done removing two hundred tattoos at a total cost approaching seven hundred thousand dollars. The guy who never got the tattoo woke up this morning and felt the sun on his skin. It cost him nothing. That guy was always winning. 🎙️ JUDGE ANDREW NAPOLITANO (@JudgeNap) joins Austin on the secret act of judicial tyranny hiding in plain sight — and whether Americans should still trust the Supreme Court to protect their liberties 🎙️ O.W. ROOT (@owroot) of The Fitting Room joins Austin on Pete Davidson, the cleanskin moment, and what tattoo culture tells us about how American men lost the thread on identity 🔗 WATCH LIVE & SUPPORT THE SHOW: rumble.com/ap4liberty 🛒 SHOP THE MERCH: 4LibertyShop.com 🌐 JOIN THE NETWORK: 4libertynetwork.com 💰 PROTECT YOUR ASSETS INTERNATIONALLY: expatmoney.com/austin ❤️ SUPPORT THE SHOW DIRECTLY: wakeupamericashow.com/support 🎁 SPEND $100 IN RUMBLE RANTS OR AT 4LIBERTYSHOP.COM — UNLOCK THE LEGO MINI DOCUMENTARY 🎰 SPEND $150 — TRIGGER THE GREAT GRIFT OFF LIVE GAME SHOW #WakeUpAmerica #SPLC #HateMap #KKK #FBIIndictment #KashPatel #CharlieKirk #ShadowDocket #JudgeNapolitano #SupremeCourt #PeteDavidson #Cleanskin #OWRoot #TheFittingRoom #LibertyFirst #RiseAndFreedom

Make American States Again: Will Cuba And Alberta Join the USA?
Apr 2201:57:15Tap to summarizeJAMES CARVILLE WENT ON HIS PODCAST AND TOLD DEMOCRATS TO ADD TWO STATES, PACK THE SUPREME COURT WITH THIRTEEN JUSTICES, AND -- DIRECT QUOTE -- "DON'T RUN ON IT. DON'T TALK ABOUT IT. JUST DO IT." HE SAID THAT. ON A PODCAST. THAT EVERYONE HEARD. The man who predicted with absolute certainty that Kamala Harris would win the 2024 election has now laid out the Democrat blueprint for permanent one-party rule -- four new Senate seats, a rigged Supreme Court, and a redrawn political map designed so they never lose again. Today we answer him. Because we have a statehood list too. And ours is built on freedom, not party math. Alberta wants in. Cuba deserves a fresh start. And the State of Jefferson has been waving a double-cross flag at Sacramento since 1941. Meanwhile the Mayor of Philadelphia just told her constituents "how dare you" question her right to tax their Uber rides to cover a three-hundred-million-dollar budget hole -- in a city Democrats have run for seventy straight years. And Billy Corgan says rock music was purposely dialed down to kill young male energy in the culture. Gerard Michaels joins us to make the case. 🗺️ CARVILLE'S CONFESSION -- "Don't run on it. Don't talk about it. Just do it." Four Senate seats, thirteen Supreme Court justices, and a permanent Democrat majority -- all announced on a podcast he told you not to listen to 🏛️ THE FREEDOM STATEHOOD LIST -- Alberta's separatists have the signatures for a referendum and "Make Alberta Great Again" hats. Cuba could be the next South Florida. The State of Jefferson has 1.7 million people and zero representation. Our list is better than Carville's and we can prove it. 🚗 PHILLY MAYOR SAYS "HOW DARE YOU" -- Cherelle Parker wants a dollar-per-ride tax on Uber and Lyft to plug a three-hundred-million-dollar budget shortfall in a city Democrats have controlled for over seventy years. Not an audit. A tax. On the working class. 🎸 THEY TURNED DOWN THE VOLUME ON WHITE BOY RAGE -- Billy Corgan said rock was purposely dialed down at MTV in 1997. The energy didn't disappear. It just went looking for a new home. Gerard Michaels, @GerardVsEvil, joins Austin to break down what happened -- and where it went. 💰 BOOMERS VS. MILLENNIALS VS. GEN X -- The Wall Street Journal finally looked at the data. The villain in the generational wealth story doesn't have a birth year. It has a zip code. Washington, D.C. 🎙️ CAMELLIA (@RareCamellia) joins Austin to break down Carville's power grab, the Philly Uber tax, and what one-party governance looks like when the bill finally comes due 🎙️ GERARD MICHAELS (@GerardVsEvil) joins Austin on the deliberate suppression of young male cultural energy -- from Woodstock to Staind to the ballot box 🔓 BONUS CONTENT UNLOCKS -- Spend $100 in Rumble Rants or at 4LibertyShop.com and unlock the exclusive Mini Documentary.

TUCKER’S SON EXITS VANCE’S OFFICE | DOES CARLSON OWN JD’S FUTURE?
Apr 2102:01:15Tap to summarizeTucker Carlson's son Buckley exits JD Vance's White House office as Tucker's war with Trump goes nuclear — and we have the full story on how a man who once had 5 million nightly viewers ended up buying a house in Qatar, platforming Nick Fuentes without a single pushback, and comparing the President of the United States to a slave. We trace the entire unraveling — from praising Elizabeth Warren's economic plans in 2019 to attacking Christian Zionists as having a virus in their brains — and explain exactly what it means for Vance's path to 2028. But first — BuzzFeed asked liberal women to explain why conservative men keep pursuing them. They meant it as a warning. It reads like a brochure. We go through every quote live and it is going to be a great Monday morning for conservative men everywhere. @RealTomPappert from the Tennessee Star joins us to break down the Tucker fallout, the antisemitism metastasizing on the right, and the case of Dan Bilzerian — the Las Vegas poker influencer with 29 million Instagram followers who just filed to run for Congress in Florida by calling his Jewish incumbent opponent a "fat Jew" who supports "his parasitic nation." This is not a fringe story anymore and Tom helps us understand why. Then Michelle Backus from Citizens Alliance joins us on the ground-level reality of the 2026 midterms. Republicans can lose no more than two House seats and keep the majority. The enthusiasm gap is real. The precinct work is happening right now in April — and most conservatives have no idea.

Gay Adoption: Who Should Decide Who Gets A Baby?
Apr 1801:23:58Tap to summarizeWAKE UP AMERICA, RISE AND FREEDOM. The left did not just change adoption policy. It burned down the most effective child welfare infrastructure in American history and called it progress. Faith-based agencies with decades of track records, waiting lists of qualified Christian families, and placement rates the government could never replicate were given a simple choice: violate your beliefs or disappear. Most of them disappeared. Three thousand children in Illinois alone were displaced. Not because the agencies failed the kids. Because the ideology failed to tolerate anyone who disagreed with it. Today we ask the question the mainstream press refuses to print: if this was really about the children, why did the children pay the price? And the Swalwell collapse is not slowing down. It is accelerating. Five accusers. A formal criminal investigation in Los Angeles County. A forensic analysis placing him in a Las Vegas hotel room at five in the morning. An Ethics Committee probe he resigned just ahead of. And standing next to all of it, freshly scrubbed and deeply saddened, is Ruben Gallego -- the man who called Swalwell his best friend in the world in November, defended him publicly in April, and only discovered his conscience the afternoon CNN published four women's accounts. We are done treating that timeline as complicated. It is not complicated. It is a portrait of how Democratic power protects itself until the moment it cannot. 🏳️ SAME-SEX ADOPTION AND THE WAR ON FAITH-BASED AGENCIES -- what the left actually destroyed, the 3,000 children who paid for it, and the research on same-sex parenting outcomes the media refuses to cover honestly ⛪ COMPLY OR CLOSE -- how Democratic activists used civil rights law as a weapon to eliminate the agencies with the longest track records and the deepest pools of qualified parents, from Boston to San Francisco to all of Illinois 🌌 ERIC SWALWELL: THE DEMOCRAT BLACK HOLE -- five accusers, the LA County criminal investigation, the forensic hotel video, the Ethics Committee, the cease-and-desist letters to his accusers, and the collapse that keeps pulling more Democrats into its gravity field 🎭 RUBEN GALLEGO'S SHOCKED ACT -- he heard rumors for years, defended Swalwell publicly, chaired his presidential campaign, and only found his principles after the newspaper dropped. We explain why that is not an explanation. It is an indictment. 📺 THEY CALLED IT INAPPROPRIATE -- WE CALLED IT CHILDHOOD -- BuzzFeed's list of "shocking" 1980s behaviors turns into a referendum on forty years of progressive parenting ideology and the most anxious, loneliest generation in recorded history 🏛️ TRUMP, THE POPE, AND THE $11 MILLION QUESTION -- the canceled Catholic Charities contract, the first American pope, the Truth Social attacks, the AI Jesus image, and why picking a public fight with 1.4 billion Catholics two weeks before the midterm cycle is a political choice worth examining 🎓 YALE ADMITS IT -- AND SO SHOULD THE REST OF THEM -- Democrats outnumber Republicans 36 to one on faculty, the admissions process has no academic standard, the mission statement was rewritten to serve activists, and Yale's own faculty just put all of it in writing 📵 GEN Z IS UNPLUGGING -- AND THE LEFT DOESN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHY -- flip phones, deleted apps, the Analog 2026 movement, the neuroscientist warning that Gen Z may be the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents, and the California jury that just found Meta liable for doing it on purpose 🎙️ STEFFI PETERSEN (@SteffiP4Liberty) and JUSTIN PETERSEN (@JustinJPetersen) join Austin for FREEDOM FAMILY FRIDAY -- the weekly segment where the Petersen family takes on the biggest cultural and political stories of the week and asks the questions the rest of the media is too afraid to answer 🔓 BONUS CONTENT UNLOCKS -- spend $100 in Rumble Rants or at 4LibertyShop.com and unlock the Mini Documentary.
