🎙️ WAKE UP with Robbie Gawel "DO WE LIVE IN A MATRIX?"

The Simulation Theory, Real-World Glitches & the Charlie Kirk Case Welcome back to WAKE UP, the show that digs into the strange, the unexplained, and the stories the mainstream glosses over. Today's episode asks a question more and more people are whispering…

👉 Do we actually live in a Matrix?

👉 Are we stuck inside some kind of simulation?

👉 Or is the world just getting weirder by the day?

This all started when I spoke with a couple from the UK who said their country feels unrecognizable… like they're "living in a Matrix." And honestly — I've been hearing this for YEARS. Today, we break it all down.

🔹 IN THIS EPISODE:

SEGMENT 1—Welcome to the Glitch From déjà vu moments… to weird coincidences… to bumping into the same person twice after 10 years—we explore the real-life "glitches" that make people question reality. We dive into The Matrix (1999), the rise of AI, deepfakes, digital clones, algorithms predicting your behavior… and whether modern life resembles a simulation more than ever.

SEGMENT 2—Are We Living in a Simulation? Is reality scripted? Are algorithms running the show? We talk about: • The Simulation Hypothesis • How social media manipulates perception • Predictive programming & lost free will • Why scientists take the Matrix theory seriously And of course… Who's running the simulation, if there is one? And more importantly… How do we WAKE UP?

SEGMENT 3—Charlie Kirk Case Update It's been 60 days since the shooting, and nothing about the official story adds up. In this segment I break down: • Why the timeline doesn't make sense • Missing footage • Odd behavior at the scene • Lack of transparency • Why the conversation suddenly died • And where this story might really be heading Whether you follow Turning Point USA or not, this case raises a LOT of questions.

SEGMENT 4—Caregivers: The Forgotten Ones My good friend Mike Menster returns to update us on his mission to raise awareness for caregivers—a group of 60 million Americans who quietly shoulder enormous responsibility but rarely receive help or recognition.

We talk about: • His life-changing experience • The overwhelming response after his first appearance • Why caregivers are suffering silently • The national crisis nobody wants to talk about • How YOU can get support or reach Mike directly Mike's story is powerful—and one everyone needs to hear.

Operation Mockingbird—How the CIA Played the Press Description:

What if the "free press" was never truly free?

👀 In this explosive episode of Wake Up with Robbie Gawel, we dive into Operation Mockingbird—the CIA's covert campaign to infiltrate America's newsrooms and shape public opinion from the shadows.

From The New York Times to CBS to Time Magazine, the world's most trusted outlets weren't always telling the whole truth.

We'll break down:

🧠 How Operation Mockingbird began in the post–World War II era

📰 The media moguls and journalists who played along

🕵️ The Church Committee's shocking revelations in the 1970s

⚠️ And the modern echoes that still ripple through today's media From propaganda to perception control—this is the episode that'll make you question everything you thought you knew about the news.

💬 Listen now and WAKE UP. Because the truth isn't always trending.

🎙️ Wake Up—Season 2, Episode 4: "Believe Everything but Your Eyes"

Hosted by Robbie Gawel

What if a Nicolas Cage movie from 1998 didn't just entertain us—but predicted the assassination of Charlie Kirk in 2025? In this shocking new episode of Wake Up, host Robbie Gawel dives deep into a web of eerie coincidences between the 1998 film Snake Eyes and the real-world events surrounding Charlie Kirk's death on September 10, 2025.

From matching names and identical dates to symbolic imagery, missing footage, and media manipulation, this episode asks one haunting question: are we witnessing coincidence, or a script written decades ago? The episode begins with a look at Snake Eyes, where Nicolas Cage plays a corrupt Atlantic City detective entangled in a staged political assassination.

The film's tagline, "Believe everything but your eyes," takes on chilling new meaning as parallels emerge between the fictional Charles Kirkland and real-life Charlie Kirk—both public figures shot on the same date, in nearly identical circumstances, tied to men named "Tyler." Was Snake Eyes merely entertainment, or was it predictive programming hidden in plain sight?

In the second segment, Robbie explores Candace Owens' bold reaction to the tragedy. Unafraid to challenge the official story, Owens raises questions about missing camera footage, conflicting reports, and bizarre inconsistencies in the alleged shooter's timeline. From "Cameragate" to questionable text exchanges, her investigation exposes holes in the narrative that the mainstream media refuses to touch.

The third segment turns the spotlight on the Kirks themselves. Despite Charlie's fame, little is known about his parents or their connections. His father, said to have been an architect on Trump Tower, and his wife Erika's family, linked to a high-tech security firm with U.S. government contracts, raise more questions than answers. From AI to disaster response, their world of influence may reach much deeper than anyone realizes.

In the final segment, the show examines a series of strange coincidences involving the number 33 — a number with deep roots in Freemasonry. From the timeline of the shooting to symbolic references and hidden numerology, Robbie explores whether these repeating patterns are random or deliberate. He also introduces the idea of psyops, or psychological operations, used by governments and media to shape public perception through powerful, emotional events.

This episode challenges listeners to look beyond the surface, question what they see, and recognize how narratives are shaped. Whether it's predictive programming, synchronicity, or something far more deliberate, Believe Everything but Your Eyes reminds us that the truth is often hidden in plain sight.

If you enjoyed today's episode, leave a comment, hit subscribe, and share it with someone who still believes everything they see on the news. And as Robbie closes out the show, remember the tagline from the 1998 film Snake Eyes: "Believe everything but your eyes."

Behind the Smoke: Rethinking 9/11

Next year marks the 25th anniversary of 9/11—the day that forever changed America and the world. Nearly a quarter of a century later, we've heard the same story repeated again and again: 19 hijackers armed with box cutters hijacked four commercial airliners.

Nearly 3,000 lives lost. America is under attack. But how much do we really know about what happened? And just as important—how much were we never told?

In this episode of Wake Up!, host Robbie Gawel reviews the official story, uncovering strange coincidences, unanswered questions, and shocking details that are often overlooked.

We cover: 🏢 The Towers & Asbestos The Port Authority faced billions in asbestos liability due to a lawsuit it lost just months before 9/11, which directly impacted the fate of the buildings.

💰 Larry Silverstein's Lease & Insurance Policy— A 99-year lease signed weeks before the attacks, followed by one of the largest insurance payouts in history.

🎭 Gelatin: The Art Collective—A mysterious Austrian art group with covert access inside the Twin Towers in 2000. Was it just art… or something far more sinister?

💥 The Pentagon Strike—Was it really a Boeing 757? We look at the size of the impact hole, the missing wreckage, and the suspicious lack of clear security footage.

💸 The Missing $2.3 Trillion—Announced by Donald Rumsfeld on September 10, 2001—the very day before the Pentagon's accounting offices were destroyed.

🌍 The Aftermath—The War on Terror, the Patriot Act, $8 trillion spent, millions displaced, thousands of U.S. troops killed, and a new era of surveillance and government overreach.

From WTC 7's mysterious collapse to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, this episode goes beyond the headlines and asks: was 9/11 simply a terror attack, or was it a psyop—a psychological operation designed to manipulate public opinion, justify endless war, and centralize power?

⚡The truth still matters. Whether you agree or disagree, it's time to revisit the story we were told and look deeper.

📺 Watch now and decide for yourself.

👇 Drop your thoughts in the comments—what do you believe really happened on 9/11?
