The Hair Apparent: Gavin Newsom Goes Dixie!

On today’s episode of Wake Up America, Austin Petersen breaks down California Governor Gavin Newsom’s not-so-subtle campaign swing through South Carolina — the slickest haircut in politics is on a mission to gaslight red states into thinking California is a model worth copying. Spoiler: it’s not.

We’re pulling apart the headlines, from Trump’s attack on Fed Chair Jerome Powell and his 100% Brazil tariff threat, to the GOP’s messaging meltdown over the budget. Then, it’s a full takedown of Newsom’s southern strategy and his meltdown over immigration raids back home — all while trying to smile for presidential campaign photos in Charleston.

At 8:00 AM CT, @Miltimore79 joins the show with facts, fire, and receipts. We dig into why California has become a cautionary tale of central planning, homelessness, and crime — and what it would mean if Newsom took that chaos national.

Later, we tackle Tucker Carlson’s latest anti-GOP rant that has the left suddenly swooning, and Vivek Ramaswamy’s bold takedown of race-baiting socialism from New York’s Zohran Mamdani.
