Missouri native and former U.S. presidential candidate, Austin Petersen, is stepping into a whole new realm with a major expansion of his growing media empire. After two years of success with his news and talk podcast, the Wake Up America Show, Petersen is now teaming up with Rumble and Locals to launch an ambitious new venture: the 4Liberty Network.
Streaming live from the Missouri Times building’s newly revamped studio, the Wake Up America Show has hit the #1 spot in political talk streams on Elon Musk’s X platform multiple times recently. Now, with the debut of 4LibertyNetwork.com, Petersen is aiming even higher by bringing new voices to the forefront and delivering more of the liberty-centered content that audiences crave.
“After two successful years of growing the Wake Up America Show and 4LibertyShop.com, I’m excited to launch the 4Liberty Network,” says Petersen. “We’ve built a strong, healthy community, and now it’s time to bring new talents into the spotlight while delivering more of the liberty-centered content people are craving.”
The 4Liberty Network will feature a dynamic lineup of shows, all with their own unique style and focus. Here’s what you can expect:
Culturama: Airing live on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7-9 pm Central, Culturama is hosted by Daniella Pentsak—a charismatic, Marilyn Monroe-inspired personality with a master’s degree. This 1950s-themed retro show blends culture and politics with a libertarian twist, offering both style and substance. Get your dose of thought-provoking discussions at rumble.com/culturama.
Liberty Tonight: Thursdays from 9-11 pm Central, this Tonight Show-style program brings together hosts Brian Peotter and Jordan Marinovich (aka King Libertarian). Mixing fake celebrity interviews, news, and satire, Liberty Tonight is the fun and innovative commentary you didn’t know you needed. Expect a blend of humor and hard-hitting discussions at rumble.com/libertytonight.
The Wake Up America Show with Austin Petersen: Kicking off every weekday from 7-9 am Central, Petersen’s Wake Up America Show offers an upbeat, 1980s retro vibe with "silly shirts and serious interviews." Always optimistic and passionate about America’s future, Petersen delivers zany yet brainy news talk to start your day right.
The success of the 4Liberty Network is directly tied to the incredible support of its audience and the success of its e-commerce store, 4LibertyShop.com. The shop has a loyal following, bringing in thousands of customers who proudly sport patriotic merch and enjoy Founding Flavors coffee. Even Argentina's President, Javier Milei, has recognized the store’s offerings!
“Our community doesn’t just support us with views—they’re buying the products that keep this vision alive and profitable,” says Petersen.
Partnering with Rumble and Locals, the 4Liberty Network is committed to free speech and uncensored content. Petersen emphasizes that, “We’re not just creating a media outlet; we’re building a long-term platform where our ideas can thrive.” With Rumble’s state-of-the-art studio software and the support of the crowd-funded Locals website, the 4Liberty Network will serve as a home base for its shows while extending their reach across multiple platforms.
The Wake Up America Show launched in 2022 and has since transformed into a full-fledged media network, thanks to Petersen’s vision and passion. Now, with the 4Liberty Network in full swing, the goal is to showcase fresh talent, spark conversations, and grow a community where liberty thrives.
