🎙️ Wake Up America — July 14, 2025
Main Story: Gavin Newsom’s Southern Strategy Backfires
This morning on Wake Up America, Austin Petersen unpacks Gavin Newsom’s desperate rebranding tour through South Carolina—while his home state of California spirals deeper into chaos. From federal raids on cartel-run cannabis farms to skyrocketing crime and crumbling infrastructure, Newsom’s “national blueprint” looks more like a warning label.
Also on the show:
✅ Trump as CEO: Americans wanted a business leader in the White House—and they’ve got one. Austin breaks down how President Trump is running America like a company: cutting fat, pushing tariffs, battling the Fed, and driving record-breaking economic numbers. But is he risking it all by mixing policy with personal vendettas?
🎤 8:00 AM CT — Jon Miltimore (@miltimore79) joins the show to discuss Newsom's political opportunism and the growing backlash to progressive failures nationwide.
🎖️ 8:30 AM CT — Brandon Prichard (@RealPrichard) joins us to talk about the Defend the Guard movement in the wake of the tragic Texas floods that killed over 100 Americans. As National Guard units are deployed abroad, are we leaving Americans vulnerable at home?
