00:00No one who was alive today had ever experienced a true pandemic.
00:04And I'm hoping that now that this is over, people are going to,
00:08you know, recognize that some serious errors were made and not repeat those.
00:12That's the best you can get out of it.
00:13So what do you tell those people?
00:15Vote Republican.
00:16And that, according to Rogan, was just the warm-up round.
00:19Gavin Newsom didn't just fumble the bag, he dropped it off a cliff.
00:23Rogan argued that California was sitting on a gold mine,
00:25a booming economy, endless opportunity, and dreamlike weather.
00:29But under Newsom's leadership, it became a cautionary tale.
00:33Rogan believes Newsom squandered all that potential with sloppy leadership,
00:37knee-jerk decisions, and phony political theater.
00:40It's not about solving real problems, Rogan claimed.
00:43It's about optics, flashy speeches, quick headlines, and empty gestures.
00:48Meanwhile, the real damage piled up.
00:50Crime is out of control.
00:52Homelessness has exploded.
00:54Taxes are through the roof.
00:55Major businesses are leaving the state in droves.
00:58To Rogan, Newsom represents everything wrong with extreme progressive politics.
01:03More obsessed with looking woke than actually helping working people.
01:06It's all performance, Rogan said.
01:08Image over impact.
01:10Talking points over real solutions.
01:12And this isn't new for him.
01:13He's been calling it out for years.
01:15During the pandemic, Rogan openly slammed Newsom's response,
01:19especially the way small business owners were left to drown while big corporations stayed open.
01:23Local shops were forced to shut down permanently.
01:26That chaotic COVID response, Rogan said, was the last straw.
