Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom of California expressed concern during a recent interview about his son’s interest in right-leaning figures like Joe Rogan, Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson.
Newsom spoke to Bloomberg for an interview published Sept. 7, in which he focused on the topics of AI and its implications for governance.
During the interview, the outlet asked Newsom whether he had talked to his children about potential issues surrounding AI.
“I had a very serious conversation with my oldest daughter about the chatbots on Snap,” Newsom responded, before pivoting to a discussion of his son’s interest in online content creators that many Democrats denounce as dangerous right-wing extremists.
“I really worry about these micro-cults that my kids are in,” the governor told Bloomberg. “I say micro-cults because I don’t know if there’s a better way to describe it. My son is asking me about Andrew Tate, Jordan Petersen [sic]. And then immediately he’s talking about Joe Rogan. And I’m like, here it is, the pathway.”
Andrew Tate is a masculinity influencer and former professional kickboxer facing charges in Romania for rape and human trafficking, Joe Rogan hosts the popular interview podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience” and Jordan Peterson is a clinical psychologist and the author of “12 Rules For Life.”
All three have been widely accused of radicalizing young men by turning them away from progressive values.

LOL! I guess Gavin thinks Rogan is a gateway drug for his kids. He might tell them to not listen to those podcasts, but they’ll find a way. (Dad decreed that I would not listen to rock ‘n’ roll — but I did.)
Yes, totally. Also teenagers kind of naturally rebel—if your parents are leftists ,no common sense idiots, rebelling is being a conservative, common sense. intelligent ,logical, thoughtful, reasonable, smart person.
Ironic, isn’t it?
Ironic
When democrats put Tampax dispensers in boy's bathrooms and did 'bump and grind' shows on public streets (public parades for chlildren to watch) then called the sexual mutilation and sterilization of children 'affirming care' it was over. No one is going back or forgetting. Massive shift is an understatement.
Role reversal - thank God for Donald Trump
Masculine en turning young men away from not being masculine men. It’s way to late for Newscum.
“All three have been widely accused of radicalizing young men by turning them away from progressive values.”
Teaching young men how to be real men.
Oh the horror!
Everyone should listen to Jordan Peterson!!
I had a discussion yesterday with someone around here who said something was “impossible” for some young men.
What these young men are learning is that real men create their own future and ignore the people who tell them what they cannot do.
Real men have been doing it since we crawled out of the caves.
President Trump keeps doing the “impossible” every day.
That is what leadership is.
Joe Rogan's following is hardly *micro*.
All three have been widely accused of radicalizing young men by turning them away from progressive values.
IOW, teaching guys that it's OK to be a real man.
OUCH!!!!
Great shot. Bravo!
Yes, the mainstream media has controlled what these kids hear, for decades.
Now, the truth is getting out, via the internet, and the kids are smart enough to sort out most of the lies.
Let’s hope this continues!
Dad broke my Beatles album. 😠
The young have looked at our generations of dysfunction, seen how it has poisoned some of their peers, and instead are seeking a return to normality. A Fourth Turning hopefully.
Absolutely. The more somebody tells me I cannot do something the more it motivates me to do it and I KNOW can do it-—
There are people who can assist you in your achieving your goals or deter you—
The “hard” part is figuring out this—
THAT comes with age and maturing I suppose—
I was a “late bloomer” myself, so know this all too well.
As you get older and finally figure this out, eliminate the negative people out of your life, they are literally an anchor holding you back and it is your fault for allowing it-—
Trump is SO inspiring to me—his tenacity and spirit is awesome!

That is why I am “in the face” of the “negative nellies” around here on any topic.
Just because they are too weak to do something does not mean that other people cannot get it done.
They just need to get out of the way and watch the “magic” happen.
I am retired now—but in the last ten years of my career I worked with the “impossible” team. Our job was to “the impossible things”—and we started with a long list of them.
It took ten years—but we achieved every single one of those goals.
Other people in the organization looked at us like we were magicians—they could not figure out how we did it.
The first step was easy—get the negative people out of the room.
Very.
Exactly.
And deservedly so.
Amen my FRiend—Lead, Follow or get the F out of the way-—
Attitude is 90% of the game—in ANY endeavor you undertake—the battle is fought in your Mind first and then from there it is put forth, you KNOW.
My attitude was and IS—oh
yea, watch me——
As a builder I was the same as you—I can do anything and do it fabulously-—a situation that others would scratch their head and say, its too hard—Get out of the way—you are slowing me down—
you want to help? Stay away While I am doing this-
When the plowing is too tough for others, it’s just right for us.
Obviously no false bravado and inflated ego—approach each situation with proper discernment—assess the situation, come up with a plan and GET IT DONE!
Let the others talk, worry and scratch their heads, we have work to do, get the f out of the way!— LOL
