AP helps me get every week day started! Love AP and Steffi!!
I love Legos and there was Legos on there
Every day brings something new on this show!
My biggest complaint is I don’t have enough time to listen as I’d like.
Austin isn’t afraid to question conventional wisdom, orthodoxy, and more so than most even his own views. He doesn’t shy away from staking out bold positions & inviting on controversial people, while how does so with thought and preparation.
We need more like him, Steffi, Camellia, and others that join often.
The best way to wake up… aside from maybe waking up with eggs and bacon in the bed.
So maybe a close second but nevertheless… this show is exciting, informative and not your typical morning show.

The show operates as a high-energy, libertarian-leaning political roundup focused on hard-hitting analysis of daily headlines, economics, culture, and foreign policy. It features rapid-fire takes, interviews with lawmakers and policy experts, and provocative debates that frame liberty, free markets, and limited government as practical solutions. Guests span think tanks, policymakers, and media figures, often challenging established orthodoxy while promoting policy wins and strategic activism for a liberty-first agenda. A standout trait is the blend of historical context, data-driven argumentation, and bold branding that favors direct, no-nonsense conversations with a mix of expert and activist voices across the movement.
