In The Blaze, Carlos Garcia explains a recent online exchange between Joe Rogan and California Governor Gavin Newsom. Garcia writes:

Joe Rogan mocked and ridiculed California Gov. Gavin Newsom for his presidential aspirations, and the Democrat tried to defend himself in a post on social media.

Newsom has appeared to be increasing his national exposure and fueling speculation that he is looking to mount a presidential campaign in 2028 after being termed out of the California governor’s office.

Rogan hammered Newsom on his podcast while interviewing Jack Carr, a retired Navy SEAL and author.

“[Democrats] don’t have any faith in Gavin Newsom, which is kind of funny because he wants to be president so bad,” Rogan laughed.

“You can’t ruin a city and then go on to ruin a state and say, ‘Guys, that was just practice. Once I get in as president, I’m gonna fix it. Fix it all,'” he added.

Carr called it “crazy” but added that Newsom was a “great politician,” to which Rogan immediately disagreed.

“No, he’s not. … He has low competition. There’s no one who’s good that’s competing against him. There’s no sincerity,” Rogan responded.

Carr reframed his characterization and called Newsom “smooth” instead.

“He’s a good bulls**t artist. … The things that he says when he gets confronted with anything — ‘We have the highest this and the highest that!'” Rogan replied.

“Like, everybody’s leaving! You have the highest unemployment. You have the highest homelessness. Money’s missing. You killed Hollywood. Like, Hollywood doesn’t exist anymore. It’s literally gone!” he continued. “You mandated vaccines for kids that didn’t need them. You guys, he did horrible s**t!”
