Joe Rogan didn\u2019t hold back when discussing California Governor Gavin Newsom\u2019s rumored presidential ambitions, saying the Democratic leader has no business running for the White House after what he called a disastrous record governing his state.<\/p>\n
Speaking on \u201cThe Joe Rogan Experience,\u201d Rogan said, \u201cYou can\u2019t ruin a city and then a state and then say, \u2018Guys, that was just practice. When I get elected President, I\u2019ll fix it all.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
His remarks, which drew widespread attention online, echoed frustrations many Californians have voiced over homelessness, rising crime, and the state\u2019s high cost of living.<\/p>\n
The comments came during a discussion about the state of American politics and whether Democratic leadership at the state level had produced results worthy of national office.<\/p>\n
Rogan\u2019s blunt criticism resonated with many conservatives who view California as an example of failed progressive governance.<\/p>\n
Fox News reported that Rogan, who left California for Texas in 2020, has repeatedly cited the state\u2019s high taxes and increasing crime as key reasons for his move. He told listeners, \u201cCalifornia used to be the place everyone wanted to go. Now, everyone\u2019s leaving.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rogan said that under Newsom\u2019s leadership, major cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco have suffered record homelessness, declining public safety, and worsening drug problems.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s heartbreaking,\u201d Rogan added. \u201cThey\u2019ve got every resource imaginable, but the leadership is clueless.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Hill noted that Newsom\u2019s name continues to circulate in Democratic circles as a potential 2028 presidential contender, especially as President Trump seeks reelection.<\/p>\n
Newsom has denied he\u2019s planning a run but has kept a national profile through appearances on cable news and foreign visits.<\/p>\n
Rogan dismissed those efforts, calling them \u201cimage management.\u201d He argued that voters should judge results, not speeches. \u201cYou can\u2019t just go around the country telling people you\u2019ll fix what you couldn\u2019t fix at home,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Critics of Newsom point to the state\u2019s population loss in recent years as a sign of deeper problems.<\/p>\n
Census data shows California lost more than half a million residents between 2020 and 2023, with many citing affordability and safety as reasons for leaving.<\/p>\n
The Daily Wire reported that business owners have also fled California due to regulatory burdens and rising crime.<\/p>\n
Elon Musk, who moved Tesla\u2019s headquarters to Texas, called the state\u2019s policies \u201chostile to innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rogan used that example during his podcast, saying that when a state drives out its most successful people, \u201cyou\u2019ve got to stop and ask who\u2019s in charge and why it\u2019s failing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Supporters of Newsom argue that California remains the fifth-largest economy in the world and continues to lead in technology and green energy.<\/p>\n
Still, even some Democrats acknowledge challenges with housing and crime that have plagued his tenure.<\/p>\n
Rogan said he doesn\u2019t hate California but believes the leadership has \u201ccompletely lost touch\u201d with everyday residents.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey act like they\u2019re saving the planet, but they can\u2019t even keep the streets safe,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
