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.

Fauci's COVID-era electronic devices just now found: can it be 'bahdahbing!?"

Folks, strap in, because the COVID saga just took a wild turn. Federal investigators have finally nabbed Dr. Anthony Fauci’s COVID-era phones and devices—those digital treasure chests that might just spill the beans on whether the grand poobah of pandemic policy was straight-up lying to the American people and Congress. 

FBI Director Kash Patel dropped this bombshell on “The Joe Rogan Experience,” and let me tell you, it’s a doozy. “I mean, we just had a great breakthrough this week on Fauci,” Patel said, name-dropping Senator Rand Paul and Senator Kennedy as his partners-in-crime on the COVID origins hunt. “And I hate naming names ’cause I always forget people are doing a great job with us on COVID origins. And we’ve got multiple investigations open on that.”

Here’s the deal: those devices were like the Holy Grail, long thought to be lost, deleted, or maybe even tossed in a shredder somewhere in D.C. “They had always been looking for Fauci’s original phone—or not original, but phones and devices he used while he was Fauci back in Trump Land during COVID,” Patel explained. “And nobody had found them—till two days ago.”

Joe Rogan, probably choking on his elk jerky, went, “Really?”

“Yeah,” Patel shot back, cool as a cucumber. “Now look, your audience and everybody listening to this shouldn’t jump to the conclusion everything’s in there. We’ll look at it. We’ll pull it, we’ll rip it, as we say, and maybe it’s deleted, maybe it’s not. But at least we found it, and at least now we can tell the American people we’ve been looking.”

I'm not holding my breath that anything big will really blossom from this, but just some nerdy IT recovery mission. Fauci’s been skating free for years, dodging accountability like a pro while the rest of us were stuck Zooming our lives away. He’s been accused of lying about COVID’s origins, mask efficacy, social distancing, and, oh yeah, lying under oath to Congress. 

Patel didn’t mince words: “It is of public importance to figure out: Did that guy lie? Did he intentionally mislead the world and cause countless deaths?”

And let’s not forget, Fauci hit the jackpot when Biden slapped him with a preemptive pardon for any oopsies he might’ve committed. Convenient, right? We better check to see if it was autopen signed.

If those hard drives aren’t wiped cleaner than a hospital floor, we might finally get a peek behind the curtain of the COVID circus, the mask mandates, the school closures, the “trust the science” mantra that felt more like a muzzle than medicine. “We owe those answers to the American people,” Patel said. “And the best evidence ever is always the people’s evidence who created it. And so now we’re gonna go and exploit those hard drives.”

This isn’t about dunking on Fauci for the hell of it. It’s about truth and justice for a nation that got played while our freedoms were locked down in the name of “public health.” Patel’s pumped about the win: “I think a victory for the American people that we broke with Congress is that we did find it,” he said. “We’re not done. We’re still looking. And we’re on the case.”

Oh, and in case you missed it, here’s the X post that’s got everyone buzzing:

Kash Patel says the FBI has gotten hold of Dr. Fauci's COVID-era phones and is digging into the data on the hard drives. It's about to go down. pic.twitter.com/uYFulY5WaR— Defiant L’s (@DefiantLs) June 6, 2025

If those devices hold what we think they might: texts, emails, maybe a spicy memo or two, the whole COVID narrative could come crashing down like a house of cards. The smug “consensus” peddled by the elites might finally get exposed for what it was: a sham. 

This is just step one, but man, it’s a big one.
