Gavin Newsom is preparing to measurement up to nan governmental heavyweight convention pinch an almost definite 2028 White House campaign, and to make a bigger sanction for himself nan California Governor is aiming to sock “little guy” Joe Rogan correct successful nan kisser.
Mere hours earlier going connected HBO‘s Real Time pinch Bill Maher tonight, nan term-limited Democrat really stepped up his mocking of nan apical manosphere podcaster Friday.
Going into afloat Trump mode pinch a 2nd each caps station successful arsenic galore days, Newsom’s turned up nan measurement of nan years agelong feud betwixt himself and nan former Fear Factor big — erstwhile again, from nan Governor’s POV it’s each astir Rogan not having him connected nan Joe Rogan Experience.
“‘Little Guy’ Joe Rogan is excessively frightened to person maine on, but he wont extremity talking astir me,” a station Friday connected Newsom’s precocious floor plan property agency trolling X feed. “He is obsessed pinch my ‘good looks,’ conscionable for illustration Jesse ‘see you successful court’ Watters,” it adds. “A small weird, but convey you!”
Newsom, who has ventured into nan arena pinch Fox News and nan precocious Charlie Kirk successful nan past, has ne'er been a impermanent connected nan JRE. Seen arsenic 1 of nan astir influential voices retired location successful today’s fractured media, Rogan’s agelong speech podcast, which has had Donald Trump, RFK Jr, Kash Patel and much MAGAheads connected complete nan years, presently has 20.9 cardinal subscribers connected YouTube.
Do nan mathematics and it’s not difficult to spot why Newsom and squad are trying to get connected nan show aliases whitethorn a fuss astir not being connected nan show.
“Anyway, if nan ‘Little Guy’ is fresh to get retired of his booster spot and person maine on, one will moreover fto him person 3 lifelines to telephone a friend during nan show erstwhile he needs help,” nan X station from nan charismatic Governor Newsom Press Office provender goes connected to opportunity today. “I’ll moreover enactment seated. Until then, he is worse than ‘chicken.’ He is TOFU! Thank you for your attraction to this matter – Governor GCN”
That past condemnation and nan signature is of people lifted almost wholly from really Trump commonly and oddly signs disconnected his ain posts.
This latest slapfest from Newsom started connected April 30, erstwhile nan Governor’s pack posted that “Joe ‘Little Guy’ Rogan is excessively chickenhearted to person maine connected his failing podcast because he cognize I’d crush him, truthful he takes inexpensive shots from nan peanut assemblage arsenic he gets relegated to irrelevancy.” Over a 2023 clip of nan ex-Golden State resident slagging Newsom, nan station continued: “All talk, nary action. I’m fresh erstwhile you are, “Little Guy.” aliases support hiding!!!! — Governor GCN”
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.

— Governor Newsom Press Office (@GovPressOffice) May 1, 2026In that clip from respective years back, now Texas-based Rogan pins Newsom arsenic a “f*cking con man” and a “stone cold, narrative-driven politician.”
Maybe much earthy to nan Governor past and now Rogan goes connected to comparison him to Trump connected nan authenticity scale. “Whether you for illustration Trump aliases not, whether you deliberation he’s corrupt, aliases not that’s a quality being,” Rogan went connected to say, aft listing various disagreements (to put it kindly) pinch nan Democrat. “With Newsom, you’ve sewage for illustration this construct, this cardboard cutout of a person.”
Rogan, who has had an flimsy up and down and presently backmost up narration pinch Trump, has not responded to Newsom’s latest taunts — which is possibly why nan eager Governor doubled down today. Perhaps Newsom will bring it up pinch Maher tonight.
