Gavin Newsom Defends Record as Joe Rogan Texts Into Podcast With Pointed COVID Question: ‘************!’
Mediaite ^ | JUL 15, 2025 | DAVID GILMOUR

California Governor Gavin Newsom defended his pandemic record after podcaster Joe Rogan texted in to ask if he felt “any remorse” for “draconian” COVID vaccine mandates and doing the bidding of “Big Pharma” while he was on another podcast, jibing that Rogan wouldn’t interview him.

Newsom appeared on the Shawn Ryan Show podcast on Monday for a wide-ranging interview with host Shawn Ryan — but found himself ambushed at the outset by Rogan, who texted in a pointed challenge to the governor.

Ryan explained that his Patreon subscribers were given opportunities to ask the guests questions and that Rogan had jumped at the chance, messaging in his question just “2 minutes” after the host had put out his request ahead of Newsom’s interview.

“************!” Newsom exclaimed immediately. “By the way, I’m a Joe Rogan fan. He ain’t a fan of mine, but I’m a Joe Rogan fan. No bullshit. And I’ve lived it for decades … I feel like it’s a decade back in the day before Joe was Joe Rogan. He was just a podcaster, man. Now he’s a phenom.”

“Good friend of mine. Well, this is from Joe Rogan,” Ryan said.

“Oh, God,” Newsom laughed.

“This is a tough one,” the host insisted.

“He won’t have me on the show, by the way,”

the governor said before Ryan could start. Ryan read Rogan’s text aloud: “Who will be held accountable for mandating COVID-19 vaccines for children, which were unnecessary and ineffective, and who will take responsibility for the unprecedented increases in myocarditis and cancer cases among them?”

He continued: “Second to that, do you feel any remorse for that draconian decision that was obviously heavily influenced by the pharmaceutical companies’ desire for maximum profit?”

Newsom immediately took to responding to Rogan’s charge that he’d helped Big Pharma...

The way he expresses himself is just as crude and sleazy as the way he physically presents.

California being an isolationist state makes it’s own rules the Trump hating state is even saying due to Trump’s tariffs inflation is on the rise.
Even stores like Walmart is on that band wagon they upped the price of all thing a can of Campbell’s soup to $2.00 and so many other items.

AKA selective gouging next it’s be due to sun spots and hot weather will be next

Long gone from Calif before that luckily. But:

Not only that but you have some independent voters and yes they include women who voted for Trump in '24. They may vote for Newsom in '28 because they'll love his "used car salesman" ****.

Embarrassing but also enraging that he tries to get away with his phony acting like a masculine man to pander to male voters on a podcast.

I hate him so much.

The long and the short of it is... he didn’t answer the questions.

Which, I am sure, did NOT escape Joe Rogan’s notice.

Did he get his arm movements and shoulder wiggles from his days as a cheerleader in high school shaking the pom poms??

Did Rogan cite the studies he’s relying on for the claim of increased cancer due to COVID vaccinations? I can’t find any.

Anyone here on FR know of any?
