Did Lindsey Graham Win?

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

RIP TO THE MAN LIBERTARIANS FEARED THE MOST This morning we dig into the death of the senator the left tried to bury with insults before his body was even cold, and we ask why an operator they call a swamp creature scared them more than any purist we've ever run. We follow that story straight into the parallel trial happening online around Charlie Kirk's murder, where a preliminary hearing calls the evidence overwhelming and a conspiracy machine keeps running anyway. Then we bring in two voices who were on the ground for it all, Joseph Wargo fresh off the FreedomFest floor in Vegas, and Austin Padgett to give us the libertarian movement's real receipts on the man we just lost. 🏛️ We trace Lindsey Graham's record from the Kavanaugh eruption to the Amy Coney Barrett confirmation and ask why the establishment feared an insider who took ground more than it's ever feared a movement that just names the swamp. ⚖️ We head into the other courtroom around Charlie Kirk's murder, where the preliminary hearing wrapped with prosecutors calling the case devastating, and we find the loudest doubt coming from inside Kirk's own movement. 🎪 We hand the mic to Joseph Wargo to give us the real story from four days on the FreedomFest floor, the 250th anniversary, the panels that mattered, and whether Gen Z actually showed up. 🔍 We sit down with Austin Padgett to settle the libertarian movement's twenty-year grudge against Lindsey Graham, from the NSA fight to the vaccine spat to the ironic ending nobody saw coming.
