Gov. Newsom tries his Trump impression on Joe Rogan after he called Gavin a "f----ing con man"

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom got his skivvies in a knot after Joe Rogan referred to him as a f---ing con man." Newsom's press office account slammed Rogan's podcast as "failing" and claimed the host is being "relegated to irrelevancy."
I asked Grok if Joe Rogan's webcast is losing subscribers. Here is the answer: 

No, Joe Rogan's webcast (The Joe Rogan Experience) is not experiencing significant subscriber losses overall. It remains one of the most dominant podcasts globally, though there have been some short-term fluctuations in monthly downloads/views tied to political events.

California Governor Gavin Newsom completely lost his waste product on Joe Rogan via his official press office X account. The trigger? A resurfaced clip where the podcast giant labeled Newsom an "f---ing con man."

The all-caps meltdown read: "JOE 'LITTLE GUY' ROGAN IS TOO CHICKEN TO HAVE ME ON HIS FAILING PODCAST BECAUSE HE KNOW I'D CRUSH HIM, SO HE TAKES CHEAP SHOTS FROM THE PEANUT GALLERY AS HE GETS RELEGATED TO IRRELEVANCY. ALL TALK, NO ACTION. I'M READY WHEN YOU ARE, 'LITTLE GUY.' OR KEEP HIDING!!!! — Governor GCN."

It was vintage Trump-style bravado from the California governor's team, aimed at a 2023 clip of Rogan chatting with Patrick Bet-David about the 2024 race.

In that old conversation, Rogan did not hold back: "Nobody wants President Newsom either. Nobody believes in that guy. That guy’s a f---ing con man. I mean, everything he did in California, from trying to mandate vaccines for kids when it was totally unnecessary to being caught out in public without a mask and lying about the fact that he was outdoors. All of it. It’s just, nobody believes in the guy. He’s just a politician, just a stone-cold, narrative-driven politician, you know, and nobody thinks he’s a real human."

Rogan has kept the heat on Newsom more recently too. After Newsom's press shop mocked an investigation into daycare fraud by posting what looked like a satirical AI-generated image of investigator Nick Shirley, Rogan called it out on his show.

"Did you see what the governor posted, what Newsom’s press office posted?" Rogan asked his guest. "They posted a photo of Nick Shirley, like a fake Nick Shirley, like a meme — like Nick Shirley peeking into windows."

Back in October, Newsom had already taken to his personal X account to whine that Rogan was too scared to book him. 

The specific clip Newsom's team was having multiple hissy-fits over featured Rogan tearing into the governor's record: "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 all.'"

Rogan piled on: "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. You mandated vaccines for kids that didn’t need them. He did horrible s---."

California's one-party disaster under Newsom keeps delivering the receipts, and Rogan is more than happy to read them aloud. Newsom can scream "little guy" all he wants. The numbers, the exodus, and the body count of failed progressive experiments do not lie.

Joe Rogan says Harris team lied that he "efff'd" them over for Trump

Joe Rogan is not a guy to mince words and fired back when the Kamala Harris campaign implied he purposefully "f***ed" up interview negotiations with the cackling special ed vice president in favor of then-candidate Donald Trump. 

Rogan claimed that it seems like they're "trying to cover their ass."

In January, excerpts of the book "Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House" by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes detailed the Harris campaign’s failure to book an interview for then-Vice President Kamala Harris on "The Joe Rogan Experience" before the 2024 election.

In the excerpt, her campaign argued Rogan’s team made several difficult demands, including a refusal to meet on Oct. 25 because it was Rogan’s "personal day." The Harris campaign later alleged that they found out Rogan had sat down with Trump on that same day despite refusing to meet with Harris.

Rogan denied this accusation on his podcast Wednesday, saying the real problem was that Harris "never committed" to his show, which makes sense to anyone with a brain who knows that for her to do so would mean instant political suicide.

"We have all the receipts, by the way," Rogan said. "I have a whole list of conversations that took place. They never said she was going to do it. This whole idea that we f***ed her over and we f***ed her over for Trump — incorrect, just not true."

Again, anyone who listens to Rogan's podcast knows he would have been delighted to have her in front of him to ask her questions.

Perhaps the problem was with the scheduling and the "passage of time." Remember how Kamala speaks to the passage of time when she appeared on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert::

"The significance of the passage of time, right? The significance of the passage of time. So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time... there is such great significance to the moment we are in and our ability to recognize it. Because we're in it."

This was likely the scheduling problem due to the confusion about how the passage of time is, well, time passing that we can no longer have back as it passed and is gone to the history of time.

Rogan also called out Lyin' Harris campaign for implying he was "difficult to deal with" based on his demand to do the interview at his Austin, Texas studio. Joe pointed out the campaign itself had weird demands. 

"We were super easy. But also, it’s got to be the actual real show. It shouldn’t be some fake version where I’m sitting in a conference room," Rogan said.

He added, "Oh, also, they wanted a stenographer in the room. They wanted staff in the room. Trump was just in here by himself. Just me, him and Jamie. That’s it. For three hours. They wanted to do everything. They wanted it very controlled, and they were really concerned that [the podcast] wasn’t going to be edited. So I don’t think they ever really were sure they wanted to do it."

Rogan wondered whether this was also done in reaction to now-President Trump's three-hour interview with him going viral in the weeks before the election.

"I think it’s someone trying to cover their ass for the fact that she never did it, and if she did do it, it might have had a positive effect," Rogan said. "[If] her and I had a good time, we got along great, and she won over ‘young male vote,’ things could have been different. So this guy’s probably trying to cover his ass."

Rogan did a last minute endorsement of Trump right before the election because he would have looked foolish endorsing an idiot.

Harris makes impossible demands on Joe Rogan to put the kibosh on an interview

Anyone who knows about Joe Rogan interviews, they know they can go for three hours and are a back-and-forth of interactions. It takes some guts to sit there and be part of it, but former President Donald Trump did, and Vice President Kamala Harris has been invited to do so as well.

However, Rogan revealed that the intended sit-down with Harris was scrapped because of the demands her campaign made. It seems obvious that they made these demands knowing that they would be refused since that isn't how Joe Rogan works, which is why he has such an enormous audience. The one with Trump, for example, had over 36 million views on YouTube alone.

After the Trump podcast on X, Rogan explained why he didn't sit down with Harris, but kept the door open for the possibility that it could happen.

"Also, for the record, the Harris campaign has not passed on doing the podcast," Rogan wrote on Monday night. "They offered a date for Tuesday, but I would have had to travel to her and they only wanted to do an hour. I strongly feel the best way to do it is in the studio in Austin."

"My sincere wish is to just have a nice conversation and get to know her as a human being. I really hope we can make it happen," Rogan added.

Why it's almost as if they knew Joe would not go for their demands.

Trump took a few good swipes at Harris during the Rogan interview, but it seems that Harris doesn't need anyone to point out how fearful she is of explaining her positions to the nation. Rogan even said the he "will talk to her like a human being," and that is really how he operates. He is by no means a "gotcha" interviewer.

Harris seems to lack the confidence to show her cards as to how she would govern as POTUS because she would never get elected if she did--she's is further left than Bernie Sanders and far less honest with the American public.

Seven days to go until Election Day.

NYC DA Alvin Bragg lets ex-con walk, allegedly kills another man

Appropriately dressed as a sperm cell

A former felon cut loose from the slammer less than a year ago has been charged with the murder of another man in a New York City apartment. Then he chopped up the man and left his head in a freezer, Hamas-style.

Sheldon Johnson, 48, isn't just an alleged killer and a felon, he's also a prominent criminal justice reform advocate, suggesting that people who go to prison want nice accoutrements just like the everybody else. He was interviewed by Joe Rogan last month and he works with the Queens Defenders legal group.

Johnson is now being accused of shooting his 44-year-old nemesis Collin Small in his Small Bronx apartment last Tuesday. Cops arrived at the Small apartment at around 10 p.m. and initially only found Small's torso sans head.

There were two disembodied feet under the torso in a plastic bin at the scene, according to Fox 5 New York. In Johnson's apartment in Harlem, police said they found Small's head, legs and one arm stuffed into a freezer. It was like a Silence of the Lambs moment for the cops.

New York Department of Corrections records show Johnson and Small both served prison time.

Neighbors overheard a man begging for mercy shortly before two gunshots rattled the apartment building, where Johnson was allegedly seen coming and going multiple times in different disguises after the murder, according to the New York Post.

"Please don't," a man begged, according to the paper. "I have a family."

The suspected killer has been busy since getting out of prison last year, working as an advocate with the Queens Defenders, one of several public defenders groups that begged for hundreds of millions of dollars in increased funding last year, according to the Daily News, "New York's picture newspaper" for people who can't read.

The group also touted a City University of New York School of Law professor, Steven Zeidman, last month for his work getting clemency for Johnson.

On his Instagram, Johnson shared a photograph of himself smiling and shaking the hand of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. 

Bragg's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment mainly due to their frenetic effort to keep former President Trump from being able to run for a second presidential term. 

On the Rogan podcast, Johnson said he was released from prison on May 4 after serving 25 years and 5 months for multiple armed robberies. 

Although he claimed to have risen to the top of the inmate hierarchy, he lied and said he reformed himself in prison. After getting out, he said he went on an airplane for the first time, and he had an epiphany.

"I had this analogy in my head when I was up in the clouds, and I'm looking down, and I said to myself, I said, I just came from the bowels of hell, spending 25 years in prison, and now I'm in the sky above the clouds in heaven."

Then he allegedly killed Small.

He is being held without bail in a New York City jail on a second-degree murder charge.

His next court date is March 11.

Queens Defenders obviously had nothing to say on the matter.

The Rogan critics virtue signalers have their own garbage histories, lest you forget

Falsetto singing geriatric virtue signaler, Neil Young along with someone named Joni Mitchell, have left Spotify because Joe Rogan has guests on his Spotify program with whom they disagree and claim they spread "misinformation." 

The real reason they left is their need for relevance at a time when people under 40 may have not even heard of them. Others have followed in their footsteps.

Young said that if Joe Rogan is on Spotify, then he is leaving the platform. This caused no less than ten people to feel distressed. Mitchell, who is best known for a song, one can imagine, is also using this opportunity to get her name out there and maybe sell a few vinyl albums, if they still exist.

Spotify has been under fire for not censoring "The Joe Rogan Experience," which has been accused by critics of spreading COVID "misinformation," according to people who have already done just that and have changed their information to a newer version of misinformation. But since they are on the Left, no harm, no foul. 

Young gave Spotify an ultimatum to either choose him or Rogan, like a child who threatens to take his ball home if the other kids don't change the call. But Spotify has struck a $100,000,000 deal with Rogan so they basically flipped the old folks off. [Not that the First Amendment means anything, of course.]

The stance of the 76-year-old falsetto singer inspired others, with better voices, to follow suit, including the 78-year-old Mitchell, who never speaks about the time she wore blackface.

Yes, both Young and Mitchell have their own history of controversy, as do many others on the Left.

Ted Danson

During the height of the AIDS epidemic, Neil Young went after the gay community with a Fauci-sounding claim that anyone can contract AIDS just going to the grocery store. He also made a homophobic slur, possibly to take the onus from himself as he sounds like a woman when he sings.

"You go to a supermarket and you see a f--got behind the f--kin’ cash register, you don’t want him to handle your potatoes," Young said in a 1985 interview with Melody Maker.

And then there's phony Joni Mitchell wearing blackface at a 1976 Halloween party. She went dressed as a "pimp-like character" and described as a  "svelte black man in a zoot suit with matching chapeau, meticulous afro, wide moustache and big, dark shades."

Mitchell said she was dressing as her alter ego "Art Nouveau." This had been an ongoing character for the singer. "Nouveau" was on the cover of her 1977 album "Don Juan's Reckless Daughter."

Tom Hanks

The left loves to virtue signal but it's unearned virtue.

"I was walking down Hollywood Boulevard (when) a [B]lack guy walked by me with a diddy-bop kind of step, and said in the most wonderful way, 'Lookin' good, sister, lookin' gooood'," Mitchell explained the inspiration for the costume in a 1988 interview with Q Magazine. "His spirit was infectious, and I thought, I'll go as him. I bought the make-up, the wig… sleazy hat and a sleazy suit and that night I went to a Halloween party and nobody knew it was me."

In an interview with New York Magazine in 2015, Mitchell said "When I see [B]lack men sitting, I have a tendency to go – like I nod like I’m a brother… I really feel an affinity because I have experienced being a [B]lack guy on several occasions."

So she identifies as a Black man in a woman's White skin. I don't believe her.

Joni Mitchell made up as a pimp

If you're on the Left, you can get away with this crap. Look at Whoopi Goldberg who did not see Hitler's attempt to exterminate the Jews as a racial issue. Unlike Roseanne Barr, who also made a racist tweet about Barack Obama. Goldberg [not her real name--she appropriated it] got a 2-week suspension while Barr was fired and suffered greatly afterward.

Kylie Jenner

So Neil Young can sing in falsetto "Rocker in the Free World," but it's just a song and he doesn't believe in the words, only the money the words made.
