4th of July Lands on 250 Years of Greatness: Freedom Family Friday

from The Wake Up America show with Austin Petersen · host Austin Petersen

This week on Freedom Family Friday, America turns 250 and somehow the stories are already insane. We get into the daredevil couple who climbed the Empire State Building antenna for a sky-high proposal and caught felony charges, Tim Walz’s pardon board wiping the record of a convicted child rapist right before deportation, Gen Z rest clubs where young people need permission to lie down in the park, Alex Karp and Palantir selling “own your data” sovereignty for the AI age, Sony pushing PlayStation toward a future where you buy games but don’t really own them, and the classic American movies that built the country’s self-image before the fireworks start. Pull up a chair, this one’s for the whole family. 🗽 The Empire State Building proposal that ended with “she said yes” and “you’re under arrest” ⚖️ Tim Walz’s pardon board gives a clean slate to a convicted child rapist facing deportation 😴 Gen Z rest clubs and the generation that forgot how to stop 🖥️ Palantir, NVIDIA, and the new fight over who owns your data in the AI age 💿 Sony’s digital-only PlayStation future and the slow death of actually owning games 🎬 The Fourth of July movie list every family should argue over before the fireworks 👨‍👩‍👧 Joining this morning: @SteffiP4Liberty and @JustinJPetersen 🛒 4LibertyShop.com ✈️ expatmoney.com/worldwar3 🌐 4libertynetwork.com ❤️ wakeupamericashow.com/support
